The spiderweb in this photo seems to catch the ray of light. Looking at this photo reminds me of how beautiful and delicate nature is. The little flares of light add a whimsical feeling.

I love how the trees in the background blur together behind the defined spider web. The juxtaposition of sharpness gives the photograph a surreal feeling– almost like a glimpse into a make-believe land.
The delicateness of the spider web starkly contrasts with the harsh, finer lines of the sun and background nature. Nature is full of paradoxes and opposites; this is one of my favorite aspect of both nature and life and it is perfectly exemplified in this photo.
It is said that spiderwebs are stronger than steel. Yet, they emit such a delicate image, a fragile line of spider silk that shines in the light. They also seem transient, contrasting the glinting light of the sun.
I love the spiderweb! I have always wanted to photograph webs but they are super hard to get in focus, good job!
I love the lighting in this photo, and the lines created by the spiderweb in this photos. The colors are really pretty too.
The delicate nature of a spider web is intriguing to me. I also notice that the spider web almost mimics the sun in the webs shape.
I like the lighting and contrast in this photo, and the spider web makes for a great design.
