[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Just missed category candidate today or recipe how to fail great opportunity. I was walking via meadow and suddenly spotted something shinning. I went closer, but nothing was there. I found only pile of soil made by mole. After closer examination from different angles I saw sea of diamonds :-) Small spider's web was placed around pile all covered with dew. Sun shone in every drop and made great light spectacle. I started to photograph. Believe me - I tried really hard with different angles, speeds and f-stops. I took about twenty photos. Later, I saw in my monitor that all pictures are bad or very bad. I have no idea why. Shallow DOF, blurred FG, focus in space. I chose best picture to show you how beautifull moment it was. By the way, poor spider is sitting in upper right corner.

That is so beautiful ! I like to go out in the morning, when there is dew on everything, or after the rain. Water drops always look fantastic on pictures. This is really a wonderful shot, I have never seen so many drops on a spiderweb. I'm glad you posted it.

Dosyc ciekawie to wyszlo. Z lekka nieostre, ale jak sam napisales aparat pewnie troche zglupial. Podoba mi sie ten pajak. Wyglada na zagubionego. A moze popelnil juz samobojstwo, bo jest pod nim jakas czerwona plama? ;) Brawa za odkrycie!

hello
surprenante cette vue mais originale et jolie, dommage que l'insecte soit un peu loin.
beau travail malgré tout
merci du partage

Hello Greg,
On the thumbnail it looks like a picture of sea sand ;-) The bigger size looks much better! These is a lovely discovery and the picture isn't that bad at all. All these dropets look superb and the funnel spider is a great bonus.
WELL DONE!

Congrats Greg, this is another excellent picture from you. Excellent POV, great sharpness, details and very nice colours. This is a brilliant composition. Thank you.
