Fantastic photo. The colours are great! Well done!

Some time ago I started a thread with a discussion on this.
Finally, we found a retired Physics professor from Hannover who had a “web” site dedicated to this.

Very cool photo... I agree with brentbristol whole-heartedly. The angle and lighting are exceptional! Congrats summicron!

This is a beautiful composition. I love how the low angle relative to the plane of the web has captured the colorful prismatic effect. Very nicely done.
