At one of the kids' morning soccer game I walked the edge of the nearby field. Spotted this dew-drenced spider web and couldn't resist. Of course, I just "happened" to have my mini-tripod handy. ;^)
I kind of had this idea running thru my head after getting some similar shots on the edge of our own pasture a few days ago. For me, the complex web strands and water spheres represents a level of geometry unattainable by mortal humans. I'm babbling now... Anyway, looks like an image you might find on the cover of a geometry book.
BTW, the spider underneath was a bonus. Didn't actually see it until I was post-processing.
Good eye Barry to see that spider! I don't think I would have myself. Wonder if you could isolate the area of the spider and bump the red channel way up to good effect... Cool shot btw :o)
Thanks Ray. Being a basic editing challenge I was a little limited. I did mess with color saturation some to try and get more emphasis on the spider but there is a fair amount of red (and yellow) already present in other areas (top left). When bumped those other areas became distracting and competed with the theme of the image. I almost kind of like the mystery it adds. ;^)

Great DOF...I think I would go without that white line in frame...it puts your blow of water drops too much in box. I wonder also if the b&w would look even better.
