3rd place, advanced monochrome prints, 10/18/05, Northern Virginia Photographic Society
At the edge of an overlook on Skyline Drive; web built on a yucca plant (yucca plant in the Shenandoah mountains?). Shot made looking across Skyline Drive toward the mountain top beyond the drive (I was on the wrong side of the overlook - the side over the wall and down the mountain). You can see the mountain and a few trees at the bottom/middle of the drops - and at the top of the drop is Skyline Drive with the white line marking the road's shoulder (the reflection, as it should be, is upside down). Lots of unusually shaped drops in this web. A breeze was blowing which made keeping this web in focus a challenge. I'm betting that this wins a B&W print ribbon in the club competition - based on the exposure & sharpness. Thanks to my wife for finding this.
