Very nice. Love the water drops on it and the gloominess overall.

I'd crop the photo a little more, so the focus on the web will be enhanced.

A few strands in foreground I would have liked to have seen a bit sharper, otherwise I like the blurred background, the second bud blurred. I like the layout (camera position)
The sad forlorn feel is superb

6 - Nice. Criticism; especially for this Challenge, if the web were more dominant (zoomed/tighter crop quality dependent), would give this more impact in my opinion. Like the 'deadheads'' effect.

A bit sad and dirty. Good DOF, sharp, shining web...7

I think I'd crop out most of the dead roses and just zoom in on the beautiful spider web.

A beautiful capture, my blue ribbon pick here, great job.

OK, I think that the picture is supposed to show the pattern of the spider's web, a great take on the challenge. However, I think that the effect this picture could have is lost by the photographer not having got close enough to the subject, too many extraneous elements that do not add anything to the picture.

I think that cropping closer would have made your photo much stronger.
