As this photo was loading and all I could see was the top two panels, I thought it was a broken window. But then, as the rest of the picture was revealed and I realized it was a spider web, your title really had meaning. I love everything about this picture, from the great lighting on the window panes and web to the blur of the background to the framing to the lack of color. Extraordinary shot. Good luck with the challenge. This looks like a ribbon-winner to me!

Another of my favourites in this challenge.
Lighting is spot on - the way it paints the threads of that web is wonderful and the pools of light outside make that view, though undefined, seem appealing.
Using the window frame as both border and framing for the view works very well and creates a very strong composition.
Black and white is absolutely right for the image.
I'm sure (and I hope) this will do well.

I like this response to the challenge and the web it wonderful -intricate across the windowframe lines for me the light splotch in the lower right is a distraction

Like what you did with this shot. Good tones and use of DOF. I can't five you any helpful advice because it does not need improvement and I could not do any better myself. 9

great image. One of my favorites. This is really well lit and exposed. I'm impressed with how clearly you managed to show the spiderweb. The sepia is a nice choice as well.
