[The Wisdom of a Distracted Mind] Monday... Monday...

For today's picture, I took a walk through the morning fog in the park, and I stumbled upon this:

Someone caught lunch.

When I got home, I downloaded it, processed it, then applied some artsy-fartsy effects to pretty up this scene of insect demise (what's that? You didn't notice the dead bugs?).

Anyway, for those of you who don't dig the foggy effects, here's the other photo:

It's a web...  With drops and bugs.

I don't really know which one is technically better... I do know that I wish I could have gotten just a smidge closer, but it was pretty wet and muddy, and I was crawling around in what is a notorious poison-ivy patch (I spent a lot of time there in my childhood, by the way).

I'm curious (in more ways than one, actually), but which picture do you like better?

Enjoy!

-DP

    I think the untouched one is better because the background is more subdued and the subject stands out much better.

    Hi !!!!! I have to say that I prefer the top one because the fog added a little bit of mystery to the shot so I say that I pick the first one. Thanks for sharing this.
