 * Support as nominator – Muhammad (talk) 00:36, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - Is this a juvenile? She seems so strange, hairless like that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:37, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - The reflection on the leaf is too bright, I'm afraid. Also, a photo from the front would have been much more interesting, although this one captures the pattern on the back rather nicely.--Ebertakis (talk) 22:53, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Not that worried about the reflections. Some leaves are shiny. For identification purposes, this angle is far better; we could do a front view as well, but I don't think that's a good argument against this one, as we'd need both. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:41, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Not going to bash Omama ysouskari to bits with books? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:38, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * ...It's kinda cute. My relationship with spiders is weird. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:51, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Adam likes them with no hair... --Muhammad (talk) 11:31, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And, apparently, Crisco likes them with long, sharp spikes. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:50, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * All the better to take over the world with. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:04, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 *  Reluctant oppose  - Love the photo but I don't consider GFDL 1.2-only to be a legitimate free license for images, and I don't think we should be providing free advertising for commercial photography. Kaldari (talk) 03:45, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * While I dont agree with your vote reasoning, I was under the impression I had uploaded it with FAL. Now it's dual licensed --Muhammad (talk) 04:31, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - It's difficult to get overhead shots of spiders on leaves without highlights (I have lots of practice with this). The technique I use is to take the flash off the camera and hold it at an angle. Cheers! Kaldari (talk) 18:01, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support now as it is more free to reuse now. A good, detailed view, describing the subject. But not happy with the lights which affects the artistic beauty. You need to diffuse the light, if flash is necessary! J e e  07:09, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not too concerned about the light since a diffuser is almost always part of my setup . The subject is well lit and not blown; the cuticles of some leaves are just reflective.--Muhammad (talk) 08:10, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Heck, I get such highlights even without flash on some leaves. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 18:03, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes; I know. But it is not a positive feature and should be avoided as much as possible. ;) J e e  02:28, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
