- Support. Wow you outdid yourself this time. Compliments on a great shot. Just curious: How close did you get to take it? Janderk 12:34, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks, Janderk. The lens was 20-30cm away from the spider, and owing to me owning a broken camera, I didn't use any zoom.--Fir0002 21:23, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Support, good work indeed, focus is somewhat off but I can imagine it was hard to get that perfect! -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 12:38, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
- I agree on the focus, which could be improved a little bit. My guess is that Fir0002 did not use a tripod. Still great. Janderk 12:43, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Good guess Janderk, I didn't have the benefit of a tripod as I was a considerable distance from home, and did not want to risk losing the oppurtunity. Also, due to the fact that my camera saves to jpeg format and is a little overzealous in compressing the image, the crop of the original photo shows jpeg compression. --Fir0002 21:23, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Support. Focus is close enough for me. More importantly there is a nice glint in each eye. -- Solipsist 14:58, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- How couldn't I support such a shot? [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:09, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
- Support - is it just the focus and JPEG compression that give it that "oil on canvas" kind of quality? I know i said the same thing about "Churchill College" but this one's a little more forgivable. Matthewcieplak 04:35, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Support - excellent photo, though I'm not sure about the concept of "spider love." :-) -- ChrisO 17:42, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Amazing photo. Support. Andre (talk) 22:21, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
- Support. Not that it needs any more, but it's just a great picture of a spider, and those are hard to take. --Andrew 05:00, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)

- Gosh, makes it look like it's going to jump out of the page at me. Support. Enochlau 20:39, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Support. Nice pic. Fir0002 you should probably mention on the pictures page that you were the one to take it. Lorax 01:05, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
