I took this picture of an orchard spider one morning last fall. The spider was busy repairing his web after a heavy dew had fallen overnight when a careless fly fell into his trap. The bright light of the sun blew out the right hand third of the picture, but you can still make out the web pattern. I used a star filter to heighten the effect. Feedback is always appreciated Ry
PS I have reposted with a larger image as requested- Thanks!

Hi Ry,

I wish that you provided a bigger image. Overall, the image looks good and you may have some noise from the high iso. Lighting looks good and if you can, get a larger version for a repost...........................Jim

This one is a beauty, Ry. I love the sense of the spider climbing into that sunburst. The hints of web and spidey's meal are neat additions.

This is a really cool effect Ry. Love the starburst and the bits of webbing are a great touch. Get me a large version which I know will be even better.

Hi Ry,

Good job on this one. There's a little texture in the BG, but I'd leave this one as is. Thanks for getting the bigger version posted.....................Jim
