Also the last sections of seven of the legs of the daddy have
turned gray. Why? If they are out of focus, the color should be
retained. Is it because of the webs? Why don't I see any? Because
they are white and the background is almost completely white? What
is the background?
And the legs of the daddy do not touch the prey at all.
Very unusual.
Photoshop?
the image is basically unmanipulated...some minor contrast and
colour correction and a tiny bit of shadow removed.....the depth of
field is very shallow and the graying might be a result of the
flash....as far as a web they don't construct an architecturally
symetrical web, just random strands and frankly, I don't remember
seeing any evidence of a web....the background is the texture of the
wall where the spider had taken up residence in a corner....
