Description This shot is dedicated to all the people that recently suffered property losses from cyclone Larry in Queensland. They too, like this spider, must carry on and repair the damage done to their homes and livelihood.

Very beautiful and poetic as is the sentiment that goes with. I really love the composition of this picture, as well as the content. The water droplets make the web all that more eye catching.

is this actually taken in Innisfail, or jsut a tribute to them?

Nice pic

And everyone, remember Babinda and Atherton, the forgotten victims of Cyclone Larry. Damage is just as bad in those places!

No, this shot was taken in south australia, it would be amazing to take photos up in queensland at the moment though.

Mmmm, not really it wouldn't. There were people around the place (ie. around dA) saying how good an opportunity the Townsvillians have, when there was no destruction here at all. On the grand scale of "north queensland", there's only a relatively small area that would have photograph-material devastation- Innisfail, Babinda, Atherton, Mission Beach.

Hmm, very nice bokeh you have here. The focus is also as sharp as it's going to get, I'm very impressed.

Is it just me or is that spider transparent?

Anyway great stuff. The subject matter is a little overdone but the composition overrules that

love the shot, love the concept, and love that spider too! really fuckin weird lookin spidey that one i'm yet to find a cool spiderweb to take a photo of, but i really want to sometime soon, they're just so hard to focus on, unless you have raindrops on them as you have here

nice thought there (in the description)

i like how you've brought out the spider and the web in the photo (contrast?) makes it look quite fluid. i have not yet managed to take a half-decent spider web shot so i applaud you

Thankyou very much dunja. I did increase contrast slightly, but the camera had already focussed very well on the web so it wasnt very much at all.
