Dew on spider web

This picture was taken early one morning. The fog that covered everything with a heavy layer of moisture including spiderweb nestled in the bushes. I got up close and took this picture of the dew suspended on the spiderweb. The shot was taken with a Blue Lumix zs19 handheld at about a quarter inch. I had to search the image to find a segment that was in focus due to the shallow depth of field. Feedback is always appreciated

beautiful shot...needs cleaning and sharpening, tho.   When you come over, bring this shot, and I'll run it through some cool plugins to show you what I mean...de-jpeg, Topaz clean...

It's a great collection of drops, Ry.  The mix of green and black background adds some fine extra interest.

Very cool, Ry.  Cropping down to one small area provides a unique and beautiful perspective on this dewy web.
