Some spider webs

I took these ones in a foggy morning, just before the first sunray came through the mist... I was lucky enough to have a whole field of such webs with droplets...

Any critique is of course welcome. I wanted to try focus stacking with these kind of pictures but there was slightly too much wind (and the misaligned series make the stacking software go crazy lol)

    #4 is particularly nice. The background light is wonderful, and the plant balances the center of the web nicely.

    #2 is a clever use of the background, aligning it with the web such that it seems like there's a source of light in the center of the web just out of the frame.

    #1 doesn't really do much for me. The web is hardly noticeable next to the silhouetted flowers, and the heavy vignetting doesn't appeal to me.

    The other two are nice, but #2 and #4 are the real winners here, I think.

    Thanks a lot for watching and commenting.

    I do agree on #1 but I just like the way the web does not appear at first (that's why I kept it in the series)...

    I hope to get more pictures of this kind as soon as I can :) (and I can't imagine what I could do with a 100 mm macro lens... Another one on the wish list...)
