Ah, they never make it easy for you, do they?? But you did a great job scraping along the sidewalk to capture this beautiful dew covered web....that spot of gorgeous red in the b/g is the perfect backdrop! A great find and totally worth the inconvenience...easy for me to say, huh?? :) Well done, Tess! #7965912

Tess L. Yee September 21, 2009

Thanks for the great comments, Bobby & Valarie! No, they don't make it easy. At least the spider was considerate enough to park the web in front of a vinca blossom! #7965956

Thanks for the great comment, Eugenio! This is actually straight from the camera, except for a bit of levels 'brightening' and a crop of some really blurry drops to the left. #7966616

Very nice refraction in every drop. Sometimes you just have to go to where the shot is. Even if it's crawling on all fours... yes? Nice work Tess! #7983118

Tess L. Yee September 25, 2009
