Critique My first backlit spider web with dew drops

[Mike Buckley]

I came upon a large meadow that probably had tens of thousands of backlit spider webs. I had never seen such a scene. The entire scene probably would have been best captured using video but not as a still image. So, I closed in on this web that required me to step only a couple feet away from the gravel road into the high grass.

Excellent, Mike!
That's about as close to perfect as I can imagine. Especially considering this is in "the wild" and not in a controlled setting.

 

[Palouse]

I agree with Bart. Simply perfect!

 

[Mike Buckley]

Thank you to Bart and Nick! Perhaps someday I'll come upon a backlit web with dew drops that, unlike this one, has an appealing background that I can include in the final image. I don't go searching for webs, so I won't bet on that ever happening.

Ya done good, Mike. Not as easy as it would seem until one gives it a try. Good job.

Really nice shot. Nicely framed and composed.
I bet this was a lot of fun to shoot.
This would be a very interesting BIG print.

Thank you also to Walter, Gary and Allan!

I bet this was a lot of fun to shoot.

Yes, and the photo was also a lot of fun to post-process. Though the masking and filling technologies I used have been around a long time, this was the first time I had a reason to use them.
