@dkbarnett Thank you Delwyn, no, nobody dropped it for me, and there is no Photoshop trickery either. I found this hanging from a tree on a very long strand of spiders web. it must have been over 10 foot long, and was swinging all over the place in the breeze. The trick was to catch it in focus as it moved backwards and forwards, but as it moved, the light changed and in places caused the spiders web to vanish. So the thread of web hasn't been removed from this image, it just never appeared in the first place,
