argh! spider!
how big is it?
Very nice. As much as I hate spiders they are super interesting photo subjects.
Captured this last weekend at a friends house.

Damn I need to take some time on my day off and go through this forum. Also check it more. Just realized your post was from 9/1....shameful.
Here's a spider pic I took, the spider is as big as my palm.

I like these two the best!
For me the palm spider shots are too 'busy'...I mean it shows the spider in it's natural environment, but I want to see the 'beast'!
The rest seems to be a tad out of focus or some light is missing on the spiders head.
Using a macro lens or the cheaper macro adapters like those from Kenko for example could enhance your spider photography a lot :)
I was using a reverse ring and camera flash to take the tiny spider shots.
It's the cheap way to get macro shots. :P
We can battle if you want to.
