•  Info The front four legs of these spiders are larger than the others and so they look like little crabs. They don't make webs, but hide on flowers waiting for nectaring insects. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 11:57, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Good scene but it looks rather unsharp to me.--Peulle (talk) 14:19, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

It is softer than a usual 'portrait', but it's such a scary image I wanted to submit it! Charles (talk) 15:03, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment - It's a compelling scene, but what accounts for the sort of scored-looking surface of the background, in the sense of a dense alternation of different shades, something like you can get by using pastels thickly? I think I can get used to it and I might vote for a feature, but I'm curious about this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose A nice catch (for the photographer as much as the spider!}. but the unsharp areas in the front are too distracting for FP for me. Daniel Case (talk) 04:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination Well it was worth sharing it. Charles (talk) 09:11, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for sharing. :)--Peulle (talk) 15:53, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
