 Kids freaked out when they walked out the front door on the way to catch the school bus the other morning to find a Golden Orb Weaver had taken-up residence. One of the other names that the Golden Orb Weaver goes by, is the "Zipper Spider"... luckily for me, this happen to coincide with the DPC Zipper challenge.

You created an entire story

Creative take of the challenge. I like your bokeh and how clearly I can see the web. Wish this had a bit more contrast but overall it's a really nice image.

"Feature one or more zippers as the focal point in your photo."


I think I'm going blind. *sigh*

She's a beauty, and so is her web. Nice interpretation. Good luck.

this is one of my top favorites, and best in show actually...
I just love spider webs and to actually capture something like this?? Amazing!
I love the fact of going out of the box and over the regular zipper thinking..
These spiders are actually my favorite kind but we don't really have them around here...

Yikes!
Well composed photo and an interesting subject and cool take on the challenge subject.
I think it could have been slightly improved by increasing the saturation in the yellows and a little more sharpening.
