Dew Drenched Web

This is a photo I have always wanted to make for many years - for the sheer challenge of getting all the drops in one plane while shooting. Got lucky this last Saturday. Took about 30 minutes to get everything right - due to the messy vegetation into which I had to set up my tripod.

ND300s, AFD 200mm F/4 Micronikkor @ F/11 with 36mm of ET, 1/60 Sec, ISO400, Tripod and Diffuser.

Your thoughts and comments are always welcome.

I really like the webbing that connects the water droplets. Very interesting image.

I love these kinds of images (I have one in my gallery), Ram, and this one is superb. Excellent edge to edge and corner to corner sharpness/detail, and I like the tiny reflections in each and every dew drop. A special capture for sure. :toast: :jump:

Spectacular abstract effect, Ram ! Definitely one for hanging on the wall - well worth the effort it clearly took.
