A foggy morning combined with our huge old apple tree was just begging for this shot :o)

The original was cropped down and resized, the colour balance set to auto, the hue/saturation also set to auto, and the focus sharpened a tad.

Is that fog in the background? It really helps the picture I think, the dreary aspect relates well with the spider webs, very nice! - 9 - Mav

a wonderful shot..great composition..the hazy background..sets the web and apple branch off very nicely.

I really like this photo. You did a nice job capturing the spider webs. Kind of looks like my house right now. My only issue is that the leaves and some of the apples are a bit dark. Focus looks good. Subject matter looks good. 7

I love the way the background is greyed out with mist. Catches an atmosphere. 7 - floyd

What a GREAT mood you've captured here. I love how the branch bisects the shot as well. 9

Excellent.

I like that the background is misty, and I like the spider webs, but I'd like more of the focus on the fruit. It definetly meets the challenge though!

Good luck in the challenge! Grayce...aka...Gracious

This is interesting and well done. The background works as it is present, but not overemphasized. The composition is good also. By way of improvement, I think that hitting the subject with some light might have added some wow factor.

One of my favorites this week. I really like the background and good lighting on the web.
09/10/2002 10:52:00 AM
Nice eye for unique shot
09/10/2002 01:59:00 AM
Simply Magnificent.

this is a cool pic. i like the mist and the strong diagonal created by the branch and web. (7) ~mcmurma

Great shot! I ignore the fruit and concentrate on the web though. You have done here what I have attempted but failed at and that is to have the forground in sharp focus and the background in a fog. Was that a technically created or mother nature's doing?
09/09/2002 05:12:00 PM
NICE! I love the foggy atmosphere and spiderwebs. Wish the branch wasn't so perfectly lined up from corner to corner of the frame. 9 Lisa

Beautiful, great atmosphere
09/09/2002 02:47:00 PM
cool, you kind of focus on the spider web and then you're like" oh there are some apples". like the foggy/ misty background.
09/09/2002 01:36:00 PM
Wow, I'm loving this shot. I love the whole mood. lhall-9
