SPIDER WEB  AND DEW - CU048

Like a necklace with diamonds this dew-covered spider web glitters by the first rays of sun on a cool late summer morning. 

I put the camera angled to the web on purpose, in order to enhance the out of focus droplets. The usage of maximum aperture in conjunction with a high magnification factor allowed me to blow up the water drops to golden pearls.
