    While out mushroom hunting this weekend I found this leaf suspended in air by a strand or two of a spiderweb. I'll have to add the metadata tonight when I'm back home but this much I know:

    Canon 40D, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
    f3.2 @ 1/200th, ISO 400
    Daylight WB, Center-weighted metering
    Handheld, mid-day filtered sunlight

    I like the way t looks like it's floating down in the soft breeze. Lovely palette and dreamy DOF :)

    Hey Julie that is cool! I like it a lot. Nice comp and interesting curl in the dry leaf.

    There is a dreamy soft look to it, did you soften the BG? anyway it looks good. I might add a little S curve for some more pop but thats just a pers perf.

    Robert, I don't think I did anything to soften the BG in this - it was pretty much hanging out in the middle of the trail and it was low light so I think I had a pretty shallow aperture with a good distance between the leaf and the BG. I did play with the levels a bit but I don't think I did a curves adjustment - I'll have to go back and look!

    The bg really sets off the leaf,

    Jules, I really like the comp, and the dreamy feel of this image. Now if we can only devise ways to use spiderthread (or similar) to create comps like this when we find the right subjects.

    I'm with you, Bruce! We need to train the little suckers to spin where we want them!

    Hey Jules, I really like this one, it looks like you caught in a free fall, as I do not detect the lines of the web.
