I was scared to death of this spider, but I had to find a web somewhat quickly, so I went ahead and forced myself to deal with it. I had the idea of photographing a web for this challenge as soon as I first saw it, and I haven't had a better idea since, so I went with it. I've been very busy, so this is a bit of a last minute entry. I am pretty sure people will complain about the blown out highlights and oversharpening, but I like this as it is.
Editing: Resized, cropped, USM, Neat Image, curves, conversion to b&w, hue/saturation, sharpening, adjustment layers. I had a hard time choosing between black and white and sepia.

A lucky capture with the spider on the web! The light in the upper-right corner of the photograph is a little bit distracting but not enough so to affect my overall impression of the photo. Beautiful shot.
Super! This is great. Nice angle, and the background isn't too simple, like the other spider web shot I just voted on (it was pure black background).
The spider looks awesome!! 8
This is insane, how the hell did you do that! You're like my hero- this is amazing- the focus is awesome and that spider is freaking me out- SO good! 10 10 10
