 Well I didn't find my spiders web with dew on it :) I'm sure someone will have. Anyway I spotted this duckling on the water, and the sun was producing some great patterns on the water that I think will fit the challenge. I will probably have trouble with this photo as the lines aren't really 'in your face' and that the gold challenge has just opened and people might think I posted to the wrong challenge. Hopefully the title will help.

PP was in RAW. Whacked the temp to 50000!, Tint to +14, the rest were adjusted to provide good tonal balance. In photoshop, USM, Curves, Levels, resize slight adjust on Hue/Sat and saved for web

Nice! I like how the lines form a steady background leading to the surprise of the duck's shape, which is so different.

I think the duckling adds to this photo a lot. But I'm a sucker for fuzzies ;-)

I find the DOF distracting/disquieting.
