Goldensilk in Backlight

It's about the end of Goldensilk season here. I found this one in Jean Lafitte NP yesterday a few feet above my head on the boardwalk. I moved around to a couple of different positions in order to minimize the brighter surroundings. Thought that the BG bokeh looked kind of interesting. Slight crop from right. Larger image included.

E-5 ZD50-200 @200, Manfrotto 410 geared head on Benro, ISO 100 1/3 f10 +1.7EV

Excellent detail and colours, and the subtle web underneath is perfect. The BG colours are a strong element in this lovely image.
Well done! Any spiders I find are always swaying in the breeze..

Outstanding, Bill. I like the bg in this one even better than the last one you posted due to the nice subtle colors. Great job managing the dog. :toast:
