Hello David,
Great shot,especially given that you did not use macro and took it hand held.Well done.Great DOF and detail.Love the red colours - are they berries or flowers?
As usual notes are most informative.
Great to be back and using TL to view shots like this. Kind regards,Robert

Very nicely captured, Davide. I like your composition with the middle circling ever more widely to fill-in the entire frame. Good choice of DOF to capture de drops of water on the web and blurring the background but with keeping some nice red colours to contrast against all of the gray. Well done!

I love the sparkle of the dew, the splash of red and the threads of silver. Excellent composition, dof and clarity. Well done! TFS,

You present a wonderful photo. Work made with delicacy and light. Great DOF. Quite simply splendid! Congratulation! Annie

Isn't it amazing how a spider spins a web? There's nothing man-made that's more beautiful and delicate.

Perfect!

Excellent macro shot, David! And raindrops as well as misty and nicely blurred background adds a lot to this one! Raindrops make the photo/atmosphere fresh!
Well seen, well done!

Excellent sharpness / detail on the web and the water droplets David, with just the right DOF. The plant in the background provides an appealing colour contrast.

Laurent

WOW! This is an amazing shot! G'day mate! I just had a look at your other photos, fantastic art work. I used to live in Sydney and I am familiar with the beautiful nature of AUS. I can never forget the foggy views of the Blue mountains early mornings. Juuuuust beautiful. I also have to admit that you have been very successful with sunset shots. Thanks for your comments on my "Ekbatan at night" photo. Take care mate.

Hi David,

Nice shot! I have always wanted to get a similar cobweb, but haven't encountered any interesting so far.

A macro shot of the water droplets would have been even nicer! Hehe! That's what I have in mind. :)

TFS!

Hi David,
It's so beautiful, amazing what nature can produce.I'm adding it to my "Dew Drops on Spider Web" group theme.

Good work,
