 While making our way through the Vietnam Memorial during the overnight Washington DC GTG, I saw this spider web on the chain behind the books that have the name location on the wall. It had the spot light on it, that is why it caught our eye.

Eerie and lovely. What a strong composition that suspends the viewer in mid air. Bumping up.

I like this but I think it might be more effective if it were a closer zoom. Spider webs are great natural architecture and make for wonderful photos.

:S the focus is a little off. Also the hotspot on the chain is very distracting. Perhaps if it was a little lighter would have made the shot more appealing for me. I do like your composition of the shot tho. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

dunno, just seems like a boring shot.

the picture just doesn't do anything for me. the subject is a spider web underneath a chainlink fence. the lighting highlights the chains instead of the main subject so it draws the eyes away. the background to the shot is (grass?) also does nothing to put perspective onto the foreground. regardless of the main subject, everything in the picture should add something to the photo.
forgive me for giving you such a rudimentary comment, if this doesn't satisfy it i'll be happy to remove it all together.

i like the image, there seems to be a little bit of unnecessary space on the top though

dramatic impact. Perhaps may have cropped most of the right hand side out to make it less centred. Still one of my favourites for this challenge.

Very interesting photo. I might have cropped it without the chain on the right, so that it formed one triangle. But on second thought, this might be best. I like it.
