Cool photos!

As someone mentioned above, you need to watch your backgrounds. A bad background can ruin an otherwise great photograph. Also, the focus seems slightly off. Were you using a tri/monopod? Finally, the photos look somewhat 'cool', meaning you need to change your warm white balance.

Other than the suggestions above, great shots! Keep shooting!

i like #2 and #1 is okay but looks a little dark #3 is good. Nice Work not many people can get that close to a spider that big and take a picture

That's a gorgeous spider.

Only ones around my house are daddy long legs, and tiny black ones that I'm afraid are black widows so I stay away from them.
