• 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) reply
• 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) reply

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) reply

Probably because of focus stacking. —  raeky t 15:40, 18 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• Probably bigger spiders and not the jumping kind. These are minute and hardly sit steady -- Muhammad (talk) 18:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• 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) reply
• 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. -- Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 18:13, 19 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• 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) reply
