Self-critique: Sky is perhaps too grainy. Bottom center (web wire) should have been tightened up in retrospect.
Darn weather anyway! Had envisioned blue skies and big fat fluffy clouds. :D Instead, it was overcast with a storm front moving in. I was lucky to grab some sky with any detail before it became a general grey haze. I hope the broody sky goes over "ok" and people don't think it's a muslin (sp?) backdrop.
