Sweet image, Sandy. When I read "Web" as the topic for the weekly challenge, I immediately thought 'spider web'. This is one of the best images of a spider web that I have seen. I like the pastel, rainbow-like BG and the dew droplets. The only minor nit might be the different structure in the URC (almost looks like a smudge), the bluish area - could be taken care of with a crop, if so wanted. Altogether very nice image as is.

So well done especially as to focus. At 5.6 you had to be careful to get all those beads in exactly the same detail. Colors are great too.

This is exquisite, Sandy! Very nice comp and layout of the web, and all in good focus! The wonderfully colored and blurred background makes a perfect backdrop for this beautiful web. The dew drops add a special touch and help make the web more visible too. Great work!

The OFF colors behind the web give the water droplets on the web a very nice color. They add a very nice soft feeling to the image. Great choice of DOF.
