Hi Corinne. Thanks for your comment on the 3D feel of this image. I think you've hit the nail on the head! and that's what makes me like these images so much.... The dark background goes pale and the subject matter seems to float.... Thanks again for your idea! Cheers Rob @corinnec
Hi Wylie - I think what you and Corinne have said are both highlighting the same process - the dark background disappears and the object seems to float - hence the tunnel effect. I find these inversions quite addictive! Cheers Rob @pusspup
Hi Paula. Thanks for your response - I really appreciated it as that was what I was trying to do. There were lots of colour and shapes originally - so this had two steps - turn to black and white first - then do the invert - colour gone , dark background turned white and web more obvious. Thanks again. Cheers Rob. @bluemoon

I loved this spider web but hated its photo - too much colour and too much fussy detail. So, it was a bit of a process to try to make the image as appealing as the real thing. The colour disappeared with a b&w conversion, and the messy, dark background disappeared with an invert, which also highlighted the structure of the web.
Hence, this slightly abstract web which I liked but knew was really nothing like the original. So, the fact that so many of you found it appealing has been just wonderful to hear! Thank you all so much for your feedback! Cheers Rob
