I think the hood orniment is blurred due to lack of depth of field, as I note you shot af F2.4. I guess it depends on what you want to achieve, I like the hood fading out of focus, but to get the entire orniment sharp, you either need to have it all on one plane, so it is all in focus or stop down more. It is a tough call.
The spider is an interesting angle, and again any lack of focus is the same issue of depth of field vs interesting view point.
Maybe on the spider, since youare stopped down well at F8, it is the point of focus that you could have played with just a little, focusing further back, perhaps more on the thorax. Just as a reminder, when dealing with hyper focal distance and range of acceptable focus, it is 1/3 in front of optimum focus and 2/3 behind. You are probably focused just a hair (no pun intended) too close.
hope this helps
