Day 1: Falling sugar crystals

Good - the yellow highlights shouldn't be visible :) That's only how I set up ACR to to "counteract" the blue of the shadows-settings, so that the highlights still would look white. I can see this difference on my main monitor and on my work PC, but my laptop's screen is so far away from being properly calibrated that I cannot see a difference in hue between the highlights and the shadows.

I think the choice of deep blue for the shadows was a good one. The yellow highlights are too subtle for me to pick but I really don't care because I like it just the way it is.

Good eye for finding the spider caught in the web. The lighting is very moody and maybe it is a murder mystery as well. Sorry to get off topic. You really used the DOF and focus to create mystery and struggle. I like the angle of the spider as well.

Look at all those hairds! That's some great detail! I am unsure of the lighting to the right handside, I find the spider is just a little bit too dark.

Cool shot. I think spiders make excellent macro subjects.

This is so cool. Before I even read your comments I thought that this was an action shot and the sugar WAS falling from the top right. The detail and sharpness is absolutely amazing.
