Predator and Prey by brandtcampbell

wow, absolutely incredible.
the soft blues on the droplets lend a feeling of cool calm, and the crystalline effects makes it appear like something from another world.

the blend of this gentle silence with the spider's delicate danger gives the piece a unique twist in the depiction of life.

even the poor insect that was caught has a glistening quality, as if in its death it became part of this glassy world.

I wish I could give a more helpful critic, but quite honestly I don't think there is anything that should be changed. it definitely earned that daily deviation.

Very impressive shot, the cold blue reflected on the crystallized drops surrounding the spider makes the dark atmosphere almost surreal and theatrical…
This spider definitely is to be acknowledged just like your watchful and seemingly respectful eye for small creatures to catch such an intimate scene of her world. I also do this kind of photography, it demands a love for nature that borders on spiritual contemplation.
The composition is well balanced and brings the eye toward the disappearing dark depth of her web behind her. So the lighter color of her body on such a background shoots her forward as if she could move toward us, but she is frozen in time forever.
