Up in California's wine country, in Dry Creek valley, early morning, I stopped to take a shot at a small wooden bridge, and to my side was this lovely web with remains of the night.

Those are lovely water jewels. Good job picking out the sharp ones and getting that sunburst on the right. Burning in (photog speak for darkening, in case you're new to photo processing) the bright background leaves center right would draw more attention to the sunburst.

Great close-up look at these "diamonds" caught in a web. They do look very jewel-like!! Nice comp of these drops and good job of getting most sharp. That starburst adds a real nice touch. :smile:
