A few suggestions: try to color match the trunks to the spiders, lighten the shadows, and remove some of the light edges on the leg selections . With a few tweaks this could be a great image.

Thank you CMYK46! Did some changes. Removed ligth edges and change coloured of the trunks. Next to that reworked the connection of the trunks to the spider heads. Finally some different blending, keeping more colour in the image. I think it improved a lot, hope you feel the same
My first chop in 5 years or so on this site. Many thanks to vincentfavre, Book-of-Light-Stock, and MiraNox for the source photos (5 years and 1537 days ago)
Very nice entry! I noticed a problem with source 3-Web 2. It's not DA/Stock it's DA/Photography and copyrighted. Unless the photographers state their work is okay to use in a photo manipulation they have to be regarded as copyrighted images and can't be used.
I checked DA/Stock for spider webs with this link: http://www.deviantart.com/browse/all/resources/stockart/?q=spider+webs
I found a couple you might be able to use: http://photographyflower.deviantart.com/art/Sun-Kissed-Spider-Web-332740030
You do have to check the author's rules. DA can have some very specific rules to follow.
You could also try flickr/advanced search. I found these: https://www.flickr.com/search/?advanced=1&license=1%2C2%2C9%2C10&text=spider%20webs
Hope you find something suitable. Good luck!
