    Default Theme: Morning Dew

    Greetings. Actually surprised to find this in the midst of our very dry drought. Gift of a foggy morning.

    Michael, I think this is so cool. It is mesmerizing and could be so many things - it's great to let your imagination run wild with it.

    Dynamite composition, and it engages the mind as well as the eye. I wondered how it'd look with a different background color, so I tried an Invert adjustment layer.

    This is a really creative and unique image. I like it a lot! Very good eye to see the possibilities. I agree that this is one you could play with for a long time.

    Very cool, very OOTB, love it. My only suggestion might be to take just a touch off the top, print it and frame it!

    Cheryl, Paul, Dennis, Kerry, Jackie, Diane,

    I appreciate your comments very much. It's a rare shot for me... OOTB all by itself... almost called it "City Lights". This is one of those shots I wouldn't have been looking for without the theme.

    Cheers,

    -Michael-

    Great shot! I, too, thought of LA lights. Excellent composition. Simple and effective. Congratulations.

    Love the image but love the inverted repost even more. Yes to too cool.

    Am I the only one who does not know what it is? Or how it was created?

    Artie,

    It is a large spider web misted from earlier fog but in full bright morning sunlight... backlit against some shadow... taken from the side and focused on the middle of the web, so blurred water droplets front and back.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Cheers,

    -Michael-

    Thanks Michael. I'd have never guessed! Looked more like a ten lane freeway. YAW.
