Wow, webs everywhere! I like the image, the color is good, the lighting is wonderful, but my main issue is with the focus. It seems like the spider should be the focal point not the flower. Detracts for me a bit. Overall a very nice image though. Fits the challenge well (though the title is a little over the top in my opinion). 7

The title totally distracts from what you are trying to accomplish....I don't get it either... Brilliant spider webs... I wish the spider were more in focus.

maybe the spider should have been the focus here...

Neat web...spider's not quite in focus.

unfortunatley the subject matter of your title is out of focus - good composition other than that thogh

whoah, there sure are a bunch of webs in your garden. cool. shot would be more effective if they spider was in focus. especially given, from the title, it is the subject matter.

It looks like the spider and web should be in focus in this shot--if the flower is the main subject, I think the spider would be better off to one side of it.

The spider is a bit blurry to me, as I expected him as the main subject (and not the flower in focus), and I think one spider net (the biggest) would have bin good enough in order to show that this spider is quite alone. But I like the title and the idea very much! :-)

looks like a fantastic location but the composition feels really busy with too many elements

The wall - the grasses, the flowers, the webs, the spider, the dew and the house. Any one of these could be a good shot on their own but all together its a bit of a hodge-podge

wow, great photo.. and i almost didn't think it had anything to do with aloneness.. but each spider although 3 feet from the next lives its own separate life.. void of contact with any of the others.. very interesting scene.. i think it was a good idea to focus on the webs in the back.. very interesting photo indeed. difficult to make this work... you pulled it off satisfactorally- 7 .. because this needs to be more simple than it is.. somehow.. crazy..

The plant in front is in focus, leaving the spider and its web blurred, detracting from what could have been a great shot. Not sure where this is lit from (behind the camera?) but I've heard spiderwebs show up better using backlight...

It's a nice photo. The title suggests the spider is the subject but ironically it's out of focus. Nice capture of the web.

I like the water droplets on the web, really draws it out..but I think it would have been nicer had the spider been in focus a little better.
