Very cool, Rick! Feels overcompressed or something, though. There's definitely something wrong with the image quality. I also wish the top edge wasn't so close to the spider. I think a little more room above the spider would give the image room to breathe. It feels a little claustrophobic framed like this. Love the overall composition, though. It works really well. I start out looking at the water drops, find the spider, then get drawn back down in to the water droplets. Very, very nice.

Rick, this one, is a great shot. The lower half makes it for me.
