[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is number five in my series of sunrises at China Camp State Park. This vantage point is bit of a depature from all of the others as it was too foggy to venture closer to the coastline. This shot is taken just off of the road overlooking protected wetlands and this beautiful spider web. It's a tad dark, but I haven't posted in a while and wanted to have something to show for my morning trip.

Hi Mike,
Another superb landscape. So many wonderful and sharp details in this image including the huge spider web. Colors and DOF are terrific. TFS. Danilo

Great powerful picture of this sunset. A sharp picture where the golden sunrays are beautiful exposed. Also a wondeful frame which improves the photo. Very well done Sweety
and TFS!

awesome! spider web is really huge...but it looks good. the colors look really nice here, but is the horizon straight? always make sure...i have somewhat bad eyes so i can't tell. anywho, a good job!

This is a unique shot Mike. You don't often see a spiderweb combined with a sunset (sunrise?) shot. Your foreground is nice and sharp and draws the eye well in to the frame. Centered horizon lines don't usually work all that well. This one is certainly an exception to that rule.

Hi Mike,
What a wonderful moody photo. The warm colors of the dead grass combined with the morning dew in the distance are very beautiful. The spider web in the FG makes this simply an awesome photo. The sunrise gave the sky these wonderful pastel color. Really wonderful work.
TFS,
Niek

WOW Mike
Great use of the lens and the ND filter - the dew just lit up the spider web. Perfect composition and presentation. I'm impressed.
