 * Oppose Appears too blurry for such a downsized image. — raeky  t  14:47, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose Legs not sharp. Arctic   Kangaroo  15:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Can't expect more DOF from a single frame picture with a Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro lens, if my assumption on the lens he used is right. Jumping spiders are restless (see how she tries to attack the lens); so less chance for a focus stacked picture for a live specimen. J Kadavoor J e e 16:53, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak support It's expecting too much of a macro shot like this to ask for all the legs to be in focus as well. The image hardly seems to be downsampled and taken at around 2x magnification! --Muhammad (talk) 03:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have seen pictures of spiders where not only the body is sharp, but also the legs too. Arctic   Kangaroo  14:09, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably because of focus stacking. — raeky  t  15:40, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably bigger spiders and not the jumping kind. These are minute and hardly sit steady --Muhammad (talk) 18:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment. Just to give you an idea, this spider is approximately 3 mm in length – about the size of a large ant. Kaldari (talk) 20:04, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Support. While the picture is not of excellent quality, it is my view it would be very difficult to achieve better results in terms of depth of field. -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  18:13, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Support While I agree it would be better if the legs were in focus, the technical challenges involved in doing so make it an unrealistic standard. Rreagan007 (talk) 03:21, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Support as creator. I guess I'm biased though :) Kaldari (talk) 07:01, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
