awesome creation..choosing the same color for the matting gave it that extra ump. nice initial impact on the viewer. the clarity is excellent. the angle of the shot of this spider and its watery web is excellent. the capture of the light is great. love the sphere effect. the creation is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. creative approach and awesome work overall(clapping)

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Verdant overtone!
An interesting initial impact.
Dramatic capture of these water droplets surrounding the cute spider...

Sharply focused. Fine features & textures.
Fantabulous globular framing with a matching visually soothing frame matting color.

Thanks for sharing...

Well thi would be absolutely lovely if the interest was not a spider (my own personal phobia). You have captured some lovely detail and I think the ball effect works well especially with the rain drops - almost looks like one big raindrop. Well done.

Another very interesting moment in nature presented here in quite a novel style! Your fine image is well composed, has good exposure and is sharp. Nicely done!

Very nice effect. All of the colors blend into a harmonious image. The geometric shape in the center of the picture pulls your eye there and in the center of that circle is your spider. A nice composition.

A beautiful shot. By placing it in the sphere you make it appear as though you are looking through a magic window. Very fine detail and beautiful water droplets.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Spider within her rain soaked Web, I only found her after uploading the pictures to my computer & I wanted to get back inside out of the rain.

Comment from GaliaG


nice capture of the spider, just pity he is so small in the frame, almost lost in the background

I think that cropping closer to the spider will be better

thanks for sharing

    Galia,
    This was NOT a macro shot & cropping any closer would put EVERTHING out of Focus.
    Thanks for taking off a star,

I adore this - it's a pleasure to look at. Such beautiful colours, and a great finish with the 'bubble.' Love the background too. Stunning work.

Impressive mixed media rendition. Interesting modification. Great lighting & framing. Looks as though the spider is caught and made to drown in the water bubble!:) overall an impressive work. Thanks for sharing!

A modest spider in a clear, dewy world of jade green! The water drops catch my attention more than he does. I think it is very creative the way did this. Thanks for proving us with a peak into this mysterious macro world! Daphne Oberon
