not really after critique ... a few self flaggelation points ... forgot to check ISO, was in shutter priority mode when i really should have gone manual and opted for a narrow aperture to improve softness thats expected at 300mm (on that lens) ... its flash lit so a few Fstops wouldnt have been a problem.

nearly walked into this sucker *shudder*. Out front of a mates place during a bbq / spa party last night.

which ONE would you keep?

Definitely #1...

Was the spider still alive? It looks like it's had a bite taken out of it...

hehe thats what I first thought...
Number one for me as well...

Most certainly #1 - a great shot of such an ugly bugger

#2

I like the second one.....as much as one can like a bloody big spider. Uggghhh *shudder*.....

#2 the background gives better contrast and IMO the angle engages the viewer better

They're all good shots, darb, but I guess that #1 would be my pick.
