Summers over.

And the builder has left the building. I watched this web tatter over the last few weeks as wind and pine needles and leaves battered it. Thought it now had enough character for a photo. This is in photo art because of all the extreme amounts of cloning, brightness dimming, contrast boosting and blue boosting to bring out the web.

Hope you like it. I do.

It's very artistic to see a beat-up web as the main subject, Charlie. Your processing brought it out beautifully.

Charlie, I think the web, per se, is gorgeous. But IMVHO, it's almost overshadowed by the plants on either side. Especially the plant on the right.

Nice job processing.

Regards,

Carol

Good capture...I can relate to this. I've never found webs to be easy. Nice job with the processing to bring this out.
