Folks,

The last of the winter webs..I guess...hope to work more on this concept...

7D , 180 Tamron, F6.3, 1/1/60, ISO 100

"" In response to Mark and Roel...My experiments with the single stand of web is very limited. I did try this last winter, when the light was good, and failed. This time around, I fairly succeeded. It probably has to do with the angle of the web, and the light, and may the dew on the web? May be ...Do webs of different species throw out different colours ....?? I have quite a few unanswered questions..""

Excellent catch on what I believe is refraction by the spider's web, Balan. I've tried a few of these without getting anything close this quality in the colors.

Nice capture of this phenomenon! Like Mark, I have some captures of the same stuff, but this one is a lot better.

Great shot as is and without the in focus web on the right this makes a great abstract.
