Good detail on the top of the flower bud (?), but it may have shown strength better with the creater of the web in the scene; maybe, it would depend on what it was.
Why did the spider tie a knot in its line. Perhaps she forgot something. Good shot
and illustrative of a natural strength and delicacy that we can hardly match.
Very well taken.
blimey, splendid! are you the chap who in the forum asked about peoples initial reaction upon seeing the thumbnail to the impressed impression once the image is viewed as it should be? I thought this would be another dumb uninspiring flower shot - boy was i wrong! this is BRILLIANT. Okay, the flowers are taken especially well (gorgeous in fact) but the web - sheer genius. you ARE a bright spark. It's very rare when an image opens and i'm like "oh, wow, cooool". MUST be a ribbon contender, dang it to heck! 10. twice if i could.
An extremely nice capture and placed well agaist what I assume is a created background. If that is the case you did a great job of selecting to isolate your subject, and a great job of color selection. I am distracted by the gray stripe to the left of the bud. My is pulling left. But, your framing is tall and skinny to begin with, so for tighter cropping you would have had to take some off the bottom as well, and lost some of your yellows in the bud. But, thant-s what I would have done. Great post. 8
Absolute genius, I wish it was mine. The choice of theme, spiders web, the incredible knot, and the flash of colours make a pic I would like to see in the top three. Well done
Beautiful shot. I am not sure how well it will do in the voting because the poweer of the picture isn't evident in the thumbnail. But full size -- Wow! I might have prferred a bit more contrast. DOF with this subject is pretty difficult but the soft focus bugs me a little. But without it, the thread would be less impactful. Hope it does well. 7
