  • Support - I really like the clever way you've given the spider scale. Often, these macro shots of insects make them look enormous in such a way that it's hard to understand just how small they are. Placing the spider on your finger was a neat solution. There are a few distracting specks of dust underneath and to the left of the spider that could be cleaned up with a spot brush. Other than that, I really like it. -- Veggies (talk) 13:01, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Not usually a fan of this type of shot, but this works brilliantly as few people could imagine a spider on their finger - even an Incy Wincy one. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:26, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The unusual background makes this very eye-catching and adds a level of cuteness to the spider not often seen in these macro shots. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:14, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
