Default Very Big Spider

Well here goes...I'm new to DPS - and to photography for that matter. I shot this one today in front of the National Gallery of Canada. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

From the thumbnail I was wondering where you found a spider that large and got under it, lol! Nice perspective and composition.

I've heard of giant amazon spiders but never expected them to be this large

I think that's a great perspective! Nice positioning of the spider's body and the legs. The textures on the legs seems well represented.

Reference for other members: It looks like this.

Amazing I would have never thought it was that small from the picture it looks massive.

This is a great shot! I would almost like to see it exposed a bit less, but that's just my interest in the photo getting my imagination going. Nice composition!
