Awesome photo. Beautiful blur and sharp. Once can almost feel the edges of the leaf:)

Wet spider and prey.

[LeonBeattie]

Beautiful picture, I love the b/w approach.

[Charles Boone]

The rain drops on the web remind me of a mine field surrounding the spider and her prey. My compliments on positioning yourself so the light (blurred) area is behind the spider, very effectively separating her from the background.

[Charles Boone]

I fully enjoyed seeing the Cherry and Azalea blooms with raindrops on them. Very good use of a shallow depth of field to blur the background and yet maintain sharpness in your subject.

Thanks, @dboone37.

Wow! Much to often I forget to come here to see what is being posted and I miss wonderful postings like these. @bugadrienne I love the b&w treatment on your spider pic. Absolutely gorgeous. @karamen the colors on your pics and the selective focus are just stunning. @tersha you know how I like your work. These are excellent as always.

@tersha, @nikonnut – thank you. It just goes to prove that old saying about the best camera being the one you have with you! Taken with an Olympus XZ-1 compact.
