Oppose. I don't like the setup of your spider shots too much. IMO the all suffer from too high contrast. The shadows are too dark, as is the spider, the contours of the spider are lost in the shadow. The perspective is probably useful, but nothing more (no artistic component). And the technical quality of this image is not particularly good (lacks sharpness). You should consider using a fill flash from a very low angle to bring some light below the spider. --Dschwen (talk) 18:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)- Oppose In general, I like to try to look at animals from the same level as they are at. I think a shot from ground level would make the spider more interesting because thats how I imagine that spiders look at other spiders. I prefer something like File:Oryctes_nasicornis_front.JPG (which I took without looking in the viewfinder and has too shallow DOF to be really good) to File:Oryctes_nasicornis_side.JPG beacuse the first one gives me the feeling of looking at something very small from the perspective of being someone/something very small. So, well, shortly, I find the perspective kind of boring and the quality less than outstanding. --Korall (talk) 02:28, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
