This is an unusual picture of a spider web. Did you take it at night with some lighting? I love the colors in the web and all the lines leading to the web maker. There is not much revealed about the spider, but the web is the real story here. Amazing!

Yun, I have no idea how this was lighted, but the results are delightful. The tilted composition adds life to it making for a colorful abstract - like speeding along a freeway or a tunnel or subway at night.

Thanks for the comments. Kathy and Bill, this was shot at 3PM with natural back lighting. It required a certain angle to show the colors of the web. I find the exposure hard to control. I increased the brightness in the post processing. Next summer I will do more experimentation.

You've got some outstanding colors here, Yun. I really like how the web strands angle across the frame.
