- Oppose -- lighting is a bit harsh. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 20:57, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- I noticed that too but, though it doesn't mention it explicitly in the article, this seems to be a nocturnal beast so you'd pretty much have to use a flash to get the picture.--RDBury (talk) 08:41, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Not so, the picture was taken by day (check EXIF info) -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:49, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Maybe it is a very accurate picture, but I couldn't tell what it was until I read it was a spider. The article has other pictures which I think show it more clearly.Anoldtreeok (talk) 23:59, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- comment Actually, I can see it now having found out what it is, and looking at it at full res it's quite clear. I think this may be just a case of something not looking right when made smaller. So, I'll undo my previous vote for now, but won't support just yet. Anoldtreeok (talk) 00:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose - It looks as though a flash was used and it portrayed a harsh shadow behind the subject. AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 23:22, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not so worried about the flash, but I think this image is much clearer and more interesting. Thoughts? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- I think that image is better, but don't think looking at the bottom of the spider is the best view. Anoldtreeok (talk) 05:17, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
