Through the Looking Glass

I rarely post here as I'm fairly severely challenged creatively. However I discovered this spider web in our butterfly garden this morning with the milkweed flowers in the BG. The distance between the flowers and web was way too great for even maximum DOF to handle so I blended three images; one of the web, one of the flowers and one in between. Comments and suggestions welcome.>=))>

Bill, I like the whole concept of the inner glow, but I do wish the web was sharper throughout. You certainly are not challenged creatively. Any of your images would work well here as well as floral and macro. Same vision, just done in-camera vs. PS.

Patricia: Thanks for your comments and encouragement. I know what you mean about the web but there was just enough of a breeze that I couldn't stop down enough. This kind of stuff is fun though. >=))>

Bill, please post more - being chosen for this Editor's Pick is a big clue how good your work is!
This web is spectacular, and the processing exceptional. I personally LIKE the softness of the web- it helps convey the mystical image that stirs the imagination here.
