• Preferred FP gallery: Animals/Arthropods/Arachnida
•  Support -- It was a tough for me to choose a version to nominate here; so received some help at Photography critiques. I don't want to mess the nomination by so many alts. Feel free to support (preferred ), oppose, or comment. :) Jee 07:03, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

• @XRay: He is in a different plain (on the web); and moving too. Note that, only leg tips of female touch the web, which is a few mm below from her body. The male is a bit more sharper here because of the chosen focal point (between male and female). Do you prefer that? Jee 08:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

• No. Your image is OK (and you've a support vote from me). DoF could be better, but I know it's difficult to do this.--XRay ^talk 08:54, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
