Description
The second photo in a series that I took after finding a rather large spider on my bathroom mirror. I was really just playing around with reflections and focus and this was the result. I was quite happy with it.Feedback appreciated

Surely a good shot.. Although not by any means 'freaky' or 'shocking' as olya puts it. If it was, there wouldn't be any words left for my photo work. And that would be.. freaky.
I like it though. It's fun.

Its magnificent- I think in Hawaii hey are called Cane spiders? It jumps, correct?
Damn... I really admire you for not squashing him.
Great shot, and I love how your reflection is also a part of the capture- the size comparision is great, and it adds interest to an other-wise fine shot of a spider. Congrats on the DD!

Wow, nice shot. Although if I would have walked into my bathroom and seen such a sight...well, lets just say that toilet would get a lot of good use. I don't like giant spiders...scary scary, but your shot almost makes me look at them from a different view...it almost makes me like them...ok, nevermind. =oX

I've never seen so many arachnaphobic comments before. I adore spiders, and I adore this shot even more! The blurry background makes the spider stand out strong.
Great composition and balance too! +Favs

I just posted some of a golden-silk spider. That particular spider is very colorful! The huntsman is much scarier though, because it's on your mirror! I'm not quite so freaked out by spiders in nature, but that particular one makes me nervous because it's located in a place normally inhabited by people, and because I believe we get the same exact spiders all over my mom's house in Tampa. One crawled up from behind my bed and jumped on it once while I was sitting there and I freaked out. They get to be pretty dang big! :shivers: Ugh! Great photograph though!

Hehehehe...I remembered when I accidently sat on one of those during one of those urgent visit to the toilet bowl. Ticklish with some squish.

*groan* Don't say that. I freak out when I even so much as step on a cockroach. I think I can still feel them moving under my shoe.

first off, i'd smack that thing the sec i see it.......well of course, not with my hands
now back to the subject.....this photo would've been plain boring and disgusting IF it wasn't for the perfect reflection in the mirror. i know you're not in focus because you weren't really near that thing but THAT is what's so cool about this shot - a blurred out reflection that makes perfect sense in the photo and helps create the mood.
i know that most people would just pick up a p&s and just POINTand SHOOT and starting thinking how cool of a shot they got even if it shows no signs of creativity. but you didn't, and i'm glad you didn't
wonderful capture and DD well deserved but nope, don't even think about it cuz i ain't clicking on that image

this is really the best of the series. i love them, but this one... is perfect.
just one question... did the spider ever left your bathroom? are those spiders dangeours or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I would have squished that before I took that picture. And then stamped it on the floor a couple times and made sure it was dead.
Then, I would have taken pictures of the aftermath.
Thats why Im not a photographer.

haha, sorry if I freaked anyone out! I think it is a huntsman spider which is fairly harmless even though it doesn't look it.
JMulder - yeah, that's me in the background - not the greatest shot but I was trying to take the photo while getting myself in the frame...

ok that is just sick! haha
but really it's a AWESOME photograph! You found that on your mirror? That is disturbing. I freak when I see a baby spider.

... no need for macro photo when you have such spiders
Suggestion: move to a safer place, if there are spiders like this in your house I'm sure the mice already left long ago
About the pic its nice that the camera is not seen in the mirror, ... but that spider scares me... booh pssht go away ugly eightlegs!!!
