This is my daughter's face reflected in my pet jumping spider's eyes! It's an idea I've been tooling around with for quite some time. Not technically the most beautiful photo, but it is quite amazing considering the size of the spider. Thanks for looking!

First - ew.
Second - love the depth of field and the reflection of your daughter in its, what I assume are, eyes. Planned or happy accident?
Very nice.

Definitely planned, but there's great room for improvement. According to my calculations, the large eyes on this jumping spider are .015" across (1/64"). I failed to mention above, but this was achieved with the help of a Raynox DCR-250 lens connected to my camera.
Thanks again, SweetSia.
