Taken at Merrill Creek Reservoir last September.
@Rhys: But, and this is an important "but"... I never saw the spider! I don't think I would have gotten the shot!
@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine!

I love how the beam is illuminating the sider's work. You and the spider should be proud!

I love the light! It has a surreal feel to it. I have been watching The Lord Of The Rings marathons on TV, and this immediatley reminds of it.

Wow, some web! I like how you've processed this, allowing the highlights to burn out - this and the good choice of aperture have created a kind of magical feeling to the image.

That is very nice. I never have luck with spider webs.

@Michael Rawluk: Spider webs are very difficult, but the sun and the size of this one really helped.
@standley: Thanks!
@Observing: Thank you.

Amazing lighting stiking the web, I love its glimmering brightness

@Richard_Irwin: We probably would never have seen that web if it wasn't for the light on it! Thank you for your comment, Richard.
@Earnest: Thank you, Earnest.
