I saw this partially broken & frozen spiders web in my garden early this morning. I lit with LED lights and a colored gel to give it a more interesting feeling / look. I also used different aperatures, however I felt the shot looked best at f2.8. Any C&C welcome!

hi Phil, The stark diagonal at the right are quite dominant. It look like thin rope, or Makrame work, which is a frozen web, of course. The blue colour add a nice touch but I wonder if not just black and white had been equal beautiful. /barbro

Hi Phil. It looks like an abstract, but anyway this is very well captured frozen spider's web. Good idea with f/2.8. I guess that this blue color on the ends on this web it was your intention, and it works well for me here. Great work. Thank you for sharing. Regards, Michal.

Thanks Michal, the color was intentional as it looked quite boring shot without it... Regards Phil...
