Hi John,
fantastic shot! The image is showing some artefacts at the bottom, and round some areas of the web, but it may just be from the jpeg compression.
Cheers,
Dan.

Brilliant! The backlighting and dew drops really make it, and great composition too!

Nice September shot there John. Brings back those very distant memories of collecting these webs in a hoop made of private on the way to school. Eric

Thanks all.
Eric -You did that !! I thought it was only me. When you got enough on the hoop , it stopped in shape on its own - remember ? We,d strip the privet leaves on in one swift movement too ! God that was a long time ago.
Cheers

Superb John. And as for Dan's comments re the artifacts I just think back to when any film over 100asa would have buckets of grain. So how lucky are we today eh!
