Bluefish I really was intrigued to see what detail you had captured in this shot so took it in to photoshop and did a small edit.

Steps:
Shadow / Highlight
USM
Selective Colour (to bring out the greens a little)
A small amount of burning just to enhance the stem detail
SFW

Here's the outcome:

Hope you don't mind.

If you would like the settings I used or anything just PM me.

Maybe not as interesting as your previous entries Julianne but again you have managed to fill the frame with tone and texture something which you do so very well.

There are some harsh shadows in there as the previous commentor pointed out, but in a way this adds interest for me as it really enhances the deepness of the textures on some of the rougher stones.

Oh love this, it's my kind of shot!

I think the shot would be even more dramatic without the white seeds but it's also nice as is :)

Oh yeah!

Love the tones behind the web, theres some wonderful patterns in the web itself this is very pleasing to look at.

Strange focus on this one Alan, it's very sharp on the left and I think on some of the facing stamen, but my eye is constantly drawn to the left of the image which feels strange.

Lovely colours in this though and I would love to see it reshot with a more conventional focus / framing technique.

Gorgeous, the way the DOF throws out the water drops makes it look amazing.

Looks just a tad on the soft side to me, I know this can be quite hard to get right though as I shot an almost identical image a couple of weeks ago to add to my stock portfolio lol.

Nicely composed Alice, I am not sure if it looks a little soft or just requires some sharpening, that is a tiny aperture though so it has me pondering.
