Gorgeous, Scott.  The dew on the web is perfect and the bg is wonderful.  I even like the three strands that go oof in the lower right corner, especiallly since they are obviously converging on an anchor point.

Excellent work.

Wow! Stunning detail on the dew beads. I think that the bluish tint in them also works well against the background colors. I do find the disappearing strands on the lower right a bit disconcerting, but I don't think that I would clone/crop them out - nature is what it is!cool

Glad you posted it, this is wonderful! The detail in the web is great, and the background is spot on. Next time don't wait so long with posting it!

Beautiful indeed. I like the converging lines of the web running from south-west to north-east. Also the contrast between the crispness of the droplets in the web and the soft fading colours in the background. My only (minor) suggestion is to crop or clone the strand parallel to the frame. Great image.

Neat web with a colorful BG.  It works well.  Nice angles.

The background makes the water droplets dance!  The shape and forms of the web add design.  So you end up with a great design, beautiful complementary colors and extraordinary detail.  Awesome image!

Scott: Went to snooping around in your gallery and saw this. Most excellent. I love webs in general and dew covered ones in particular. Great find and a superb capture. >=))>
