 Tiny little spider on a dead stalk of Autumn Joy sedum from my garden. Very fun challenge to play in! This ended up looking kind if Tolkien-ish, I think, so the title is a reference to one name for a giant spider in The Silmarillion.

PP - straightened, cropped, levels, duotone, sharpened spider, increased contrast, added second copy flipped horizontally and flattened, resized, sharpened spider and texture some more, added border.

I really like the way the light and dark interacts here.

I like the interesting little "face" at the bottom of the tree limb and at the crook of the branch. This has a lot going for it - richly detailed, soft background but a very sharp image in the foreground. A really good image - should place in the Top Five if not win. Well done.
