Nice!
Great web shot! Most folks 'forget' to take a pic of the web, let alone such a nicely-lit one:-) Keep up the great work.

The Web
Thanks :)
I found that if the web is not showing up when i take the picture, just get to the other side of it. more times than not, it shows up great. Its usually because of the position of the sun :)
