Cobweb and cave Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is cobweb at exclusive place - entrance of Gobzini cave. This is hard-to-access place at Venta river, huge cliffs.
The cave environment through the year has constant temperature - the medium temperature of the year. In Latvia it is around 7 degrees Celsium. In Gobzini cave there is small stream. When outside is frost, the stream constantly brings out vapour, which creates nice ice flowers at the entrance of the cave. Here you see just a small thread of cobweb. Small, but beautiful.
Ouch... I just wanted to add, that finally I have published my waterfall Website, which includes Latvia mostly. Please visit it at http://mapx.map.vgd.gov.lv/geo3/Ukr/indexEng.htm Unfortunately - just some 10% are translated to English.

I think the motive is well spotted and the short DOF puts a nice blurry unicolor on the background. But you should have sharpened it in your editor before posting. If your original is sharp the sharpness can be lost in the resizing and need a touch up before posting. Some more contrast also helps a motive like this and it is better for the composition if the cobweb is a little bit of centre. I made a workshop for you. But the most important thing is that you have the eye to find the motive!

Nice effect of frosty thread. I have made a workshop of this to try and enhance the composition a little. I will have to post my workshop tomorrow as I am out of posts for today.
