I like this image, and there are three things I did that make the image work:

** (confession) I used a spray bottle to spray some fresh water onto the web. Sue me.

** I lit the shot from the side, and the direction of light always changes the character of theimage.

** I shot low, allowing the blue sky in the background to show, providing a nice, deep background.
That's it. Hey, that wasn't thirty seconds!
