 you need to know what a FIND this web was after the winter we've had here in VT!! An actual bug? yup, lots of 'em little legs up, in my attic, but not really good subject matter to me! I love this shot and you have no idea what I went thru to get it, standing on a wood pile with bikes smacking the back of my head, and bumping me everytime I moved. Trying not to fall off the woodpile, or go rolling, to stay steady so I could get a clear image...HOW FUN!! Had it not been for a minimal editing challenge, I would've long cropped on the horizontal, just below the window frame. C'est la vie...
EDIT:sharpen, desaturate, resize for DPC

Fantastic idea. Love the use of B/W tones. Great focus and composition.

Yes indeed, good title, lots of dead insects there. Not sure I like the bright window or the angled composition though.
