Aracnaset *

Denniliquin NSW

A spider wrapping its victim in silk unaware that it is being stalked by another.
All of this captured in a crimson sunset on the Edwards River, Denniliquin NSW.
A little tweeking in PS dramatised this event.
Used duplicate image/filters-Find Edges"/Image Adjust-Desaturate/Levels and blended these layers to organise detail of background. (a little tedius.. must be a better way?)
Then used successive Filters: Sharpening and Diffuse/Aniso'
All shot with a 5D at sunset and a cold beer!
