Challenge: Pattern III (Basic Editing)
Collection: 2008 - CHALLENGES

Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Location: in my backyard

 this was taken after rain in the night and dew in the morning ..
the droplets look suspended because they are on a spider's web which is extremely thin ..
i wanted to get more photographs of this subject where there was a more obvious repeated pattern .. as i write this i have only one morning left to get it .. it has to be in the morning and it has to be cloudy .. so this might end up going in the challenge ..

Hi Roz - I gave this an 8 during the challenge. I thought this was sooooo pretty and natural. I loved the clarity of the water and how the drops were floating in the air. Beautiful contrast with the greens too.

Awesome image from you Roz, and again you were robbed, as this deserved a higher score IMO.....

Wow, what a super image and thank you not onlt for it but for the description of how the water was suspended (which now I know seems obvious, but didnt before hand)

I love the dof you used which creates a seamless move from pinpoint sharpness to gentle blur

Cool idea fantastically executed

Wow, Roz! This is so amazing. I wondered how you got those drops suspended like this. This is such a beautiful nature photo. I can see it featured in Outdoor Photographer. I'm disappointed in the narrow minded take on what a pattern is that must have caused people not to give this the score it deserved. I like the score your commenters gave this! Much more fitting!

This is so beautiful, Roz!! Really magical with the suspended drops as sharp as a razor. Excellent work.

I think you were right about being marked down because it's not a repetitive same pattern. Too bad really. I think it's brilliant.

I like the random pattern in this shot and it really adds movement to this photograph.

Sort of abstract interpretation of the challenge, but well executed.

I tried to do this exact same thing with reflections, but was unable. This is a fantastic shot, the pattern is a bit weak and lost in the chaos, but it's very engaging and should do well.

There is not so much of a pattern here as there is the absence of a pattern (randomness).

i like how each individual droplet has a reflection.
