Please see...
Yellow Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia). . Is this image upside-down? I think it may be. I would also suggest submitting an image without the "InTheGardenWithKaren.com" if you are wanting this to stay in the guide. Part of the "Do's and Don'ts" include:
    Don't submit images with decorations such as borders or with text other than your copyright notice.
