First Light

The first rays of morning light hit a dewy spiderweb in a field in western Oregon. I laid down in the grass to get a low enough angle and blocked the sun from the lens with my hand. I'm interested in what you all think.

Canon 5d Mark ii, 300mm F/4 lens, 1/150 sec at f/4, ISO 250, handheld

Love this - excellent colours, comp, and perspective.
The top might be a tad bright, but a real beauty here.
