Spider and web

Thoughts on this photo appreciated.

Ray,

 

A refreshing change to see a less then pristine web - this spider is no housekeeper.

 

Nice lighting, nice composition, and the out of focus background is well judged. Suggestive of the scene beyond, but not in any way distracting.

Nicly captured. Try putting some of your stuff on www.macrophotography.org

very nice

 

Very nicely done. How did you achieve the bokeh, i.e. the background blur?

Thanks Gurpreet. For the blur you need to shoot with the aperture open very wide. This creates a shallow depth of field thus blurring the background.
