Web Frost

Web Frost

Description

Found this beautiful web on the corner of my garage today. I hung a blue dropcloth from the rain-gutter behind the web, and had to stand on a chair to get this hand-held shot. ISO 200, cropped, then unsharp mask applied.

Carolyn, Renee, Margie, Silvia, and Bambi... a most heartfelt "Thank You!" to all of you! I almost missed seeing this - at my own house! (Cool indeed, Renee - the temp has been in the teens here in Spokane, but it had climbed up to about 22 degrees when I shot this!) #2175234

Rebecca A. Steed December 14, 2005

Amazing. I love the fact that you didn't just snap it, but you found a complementary backdrop to hang behind it. Great find and this just proves that every thing in nature can be beautiful (and I HATE spiders, so that's saying a lot about them) #2187275
