As usual..wonderful. You have to send this to some magazine or something. It's that good.

Love this HDR version of discarded items - works very well with the rustic feeling and the lighting- great shot

It looks like painting and lovely view as well - love the shape of the mountain created from highlight and shadow at the background. Well done

Wow, this is great.

Rust is a friend of HDR

The water looks amazing....so beautiful author!!!!!

Very interesting shot. I've never seen that before either. Thanks for sharing

the prettiest photo i've ever seen of a cascade, nature is so beautiful this time of year

Well executed. I would suggest cropping out some of the upper left and focusing on the water and autumn leaves. Just my opinion.

Very Beautiful

I love HDR images, great job

Great shot, with dark background and environment, it adds the mysteriousness of the spider itself

Congrats! This is a stunning picture

totally agreed with friiskiwi............. love the both expression and the black background......... congrats....

Congratulations on 1st Place, it's a beautiful photograph.

Much better

I agree with kyicom...good marks

love her goggles

Love the contrast between the warm colours at the front to the cool ones in the distance.

I love this, try to increase the contrast a little, that will really make it pop.

Luck capture !

Nice work!

Beautiful photograph, but more about the fly than the spider

Nice Congrats

Wow, it's really cool shot. I can imagine how protective the mama spider to keep all of her children safe and sound. Also love the face of the spider itself. It looks like she is wearing goggles on her face Will it be her another trick to use infrared spy gadget at night to avoid any ambush attack ? lol - nice shot

Cool shot. If it's female, it could be "Kiss of the Spider Woman!"

What a fascinating photo! I've seen many egg sacs, but never a protective silk canopy like this. Wonderful find, high mark from me!

very nice lighting with good background

Very nice. I like the lavender color and the DOF

Wierd how he looks like a little leaf. Guess I'd try to hide too if pretty much everything around wanted to eat me

Ha - and I always thought they joined tails
