Shot at slightly over 1:1 magnification to ensure I get a flat portion of the web to shoot for corner to corner sharpness. Please check the Large version linked for better viewing experience. 

As always aligning the camera parallel is the challenge.

As always your views/thoughts/comments are much appreciated.

Great image and vision! I also like that each droplet has an identical image on it.

Nice conversion, looks perfectly parallel to me. Sheet webs have a lot of appeal for abstracts - excellent!

Jewels strung on silken threads! Beautiful abstract and would love to see it in its natural colour too.

Amazing shot, Ram!
The monochrome treatment works so well here.

Looks like glass beads on a string.

Now that is how it is supposed to look but is most often difficult to achieve.  Excellent shot !
