Description

I found a spider and its web that was covered in morning dew hidden in one of my Purple Queen plants.
I used a Photoshop filter to increase the saturation and Color Efex Pro 4 to intensify contrast to distort the background.

Exif: F Number: 16, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 10/30 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 150.00 mm, Model: NIKON D5100
