Repost String Of Pearls

I originally posted this in fawna///because of the "spider" web. But, I think it works better here.

My original was of a great subject and a very busy background. I went back and blacked out all of the "commotion" in the photo. I left the one flower, as I felt it gave the photo a little something extra..

Lucy, this is beautiful. I have a web like this with a super busy background and haven't figured out anything to do with it yet. You've encouraged me to try again.

Well, it's perfect now, and worth the effort to clean up the background.

I would be interested in the tech details, as I have occasionally tried but with little success.

I like the implied weight of these dew covered web and the pop of color adds something unique
