I liked your birthday shot but this definitely has a dark feel about it. Really great composure. The spider pops even though he isn't illuminated. Good job Tom.
You have done your usual good job in coming up with a shot that is perfect for the assignment. I hope that this lady wasn't hanging out in your closet!
Somehow missed this one until the finalists were announced. You've done an outstanding job for this weeks assignment. It suits the theme on more than one level, and is a most intriguing image. Best of luck!
