One foggy morning, my colt happened to be standing behind the gate... exactly lining up his legs and body with this spiderweb dripping w/ dew spun during the night.

I really like the various graphic elements here, there is quite a lot going on.

My only nit is something in the quality of the colt's coat is throwing me a bit - harsh lighting or something. Maybe over sharpened and/or too much contrast?

A minor nit really, the overall effect is very interesting.

I really like the original post--but i find the blue a bit distracting. Easy adjustment though (if you want), just desaturate the heck out of the blue colors. Very cool shot!

Fantastic find, the darkness of the horse really makes the webs stand out. Both posts are great, the b/w looks like a charcoal sketch. :smile:
