Captured in bright daylight but transformed with lots of filter steps. Topaz DeNoise, Detail, and Adjust. Lighting effects in CS5 as well as levels and curves. Some hue/saturation as well.

Getting into the Halloween mood!

Hi Kerry, love the detail in the spider and the way it is glowing. Also love how you included the spiders latest catch in the lower right. Nice work!

Kerry,

Greetings. I like it! Great color & comp. Might lighten the left eye a tad (w/ yellow or orange) ... Good show!

Cheers,

-Michael-

I love the spider and the "spot lighting" around him. Not so sure about the catch of the day being in the image...it's so diffuse it feels muddled to me. I really like your composition and choice of crop, though.

[Kerry Perkins]

Jules, I understand your point - in fact that is the point. The spider is eerily lit and detailed, while the catch is dead, lifeless, and only lit by the pale moonlight. At least, that's how it is in what's left of my brain!

[Maureen Allen]

Very cool, Kerry

Nice one Kerry. I like the way the attention goes right to the spider. Very cool effect!

[Paul Lagasi]

Very nicely done, the glow of the web and lighting is perfect...thanks

Kerry, this is so "Nightmare Before Christmas" like..I expect Jack to appear over the horizon any moment. If it were mine, I'd brighten today's meal just a smidge...with that same eerie blue white tone...just thinking out loud. Nice capture!

Very nicely done, Kerry, really like the lighting effects on this. Great halloween mood!
