"Let's say a spider - as Socrates would argue - the best painting of a spider would be the one that displays " spiderhood" the best.

Too far and its too small and too close suffers the same loss of spiderhood."

Funny you should mention spider, one of my first non-macro, macro shots was this incredible lucky action shot using a 400mm telezoom. Note that I not only got the spinnerets firing full blast but, the fang (chelicera) in mid strike. Taken way back in the 8MP Rebel days.

Enjoy playing with photography...landscape, astronomical, wildlife (especially insects and spiders).
