awesome use of a very difficult source.. GREAT JOB! Gotta love the whispy bun!

OmG, this is amazing!!!!

Great use of the source. The pattern on the LH side fold is a bit too large and distorted, it doesn't match the rest of the skirt, but overall, this is a truly awesome interpretation. Well done!

beautiful work author love it...

Beautiful image, you did a good job with the so difficult to handle source. Good luck!

Great job!!

Awesome build.....you inspire me.

suggest:
1) smaller head
2) the shadow part of the dress should be darker (not light brown) -- dark brown-black
3) shade more of the body (3D look)
4) drop shadow should be long (light source from top right), shadow to fall right to left direction
5) saturate the sea alittle

great imagination

Spectacular

wowzers, wonderful work!

Another extraordinary piece... very dramatic... GL.

Great job,good luck author !

This is very good, only nit pic would be the size variation of the weave pattern. good work.

Fantastic job making this source look soft! Looks like she's watching Hurricane Irene approach...

great work!!

Beauty! Piece of art!!!

Thank you so much for the votes, the kind comments and (Oh my gosh!) all the favs!

Congratulations IDt8r....good job!!!!!

Congrats Cheryl beautiful work

Wow, it's simply amazing work. The distortion of the pattern matches the shape of the skirt, the shadow and the highlight were realistic and love the colour tone as well

superb!!

nice build of the spider and lighting -- just wondering if the web would not have just a hint of shadow seeing as the spider has one

Woo HOO and a Ham sandwich

Very clean work and quite imaginative!

Good lookin' spider! Might have been better to use a real web as reference, though.

Good looking spider....and a good job! Good luck author.

horizontal pair of legs seem too short

suggest:
1) add abit more shading to the spider
2) add little suggestion of web on the shadow as well (no need to have full web, just a bit here n there)
3) saturate the whole image (personal perference)

superb entry

really like the spider, great work
wish you had put a little more effort in making the web and background as amazing as the spider

great work, very creative and well done. The net is a bit small for a spider this size, but I love this, nevertheless.

very beautiful... this deserves a place...

nice work

Even thought I am not to die for spiders I must say this is an amazing work of art!!! Best of luck author, very well done!
