Keep shooting like this Heidi. This is art. The color and clarity are awesome.
I would have tried to crop out the right side a bit but that is just me.
Well done.

This is a fine macro, Heidi, with terrific detail, and excellent composition. The soft light and darker tones do indeed impart an atmosphere that is more moody and dramatic than typical, especially on the white petals which are so beautifully rendered with this treatment. I agree with you that Clive's version alters the feeling too much, resulting in a very different image. Personally, I would leave the petals exactly as they are, but I would bump up the brightness of the center just a LITTLE, giving it just a bit more of a glow. I don't think it would take away from your intended effect, and may actually add to it... Just my personal two cents..;-) This is outstanding work.

fine details on the top flowers. I would probably also have cropped the ones out of focus at the back.

Hmmmmm I don't know if I'm very fond of the cropping of it, but I did a little levels work and lightened up the right side some, although in doing so it decreased the rich blue of the flowers. Please let me know if this one is any better?

The blue petals against the green background look great ! I believe that the darh shadows on the right are detrimental and I probably would have preferred all the blue flowers to be in focus. How does it look if you only keep the top two ?

Very good picture,color,light,are perfect.
Thanks for your comments to my 17th century family home.You?re right, it must be preserved.The curtains are over exposed , but curtains are nothing, have no value at all and was not my purpose to give equal treatment to everything.
Best regards,
jorge

Thanks everyone!
Clive I really like what you did to it, to me it gives the flower a whole new feel, one of crispness and purity. But IMO it also leaves it empty of the drama I had intended. Either way, I really appreciate your comment and honesty, thank you!

Heidi, You have done a very nice job of frameing this shot and it is very nicely presented. I find that it is a little dull and could use a little attention in an editor to improve the contrast and brightness. Here is my attempt, I hope you like it.

oooh, now this one i like. very nice lighting, this makes for an excellent macro. the contrast on the petals is fantastic, very dramatic and deep. i am a very big fan of macro photography, but my lens doesn't permit much of that...  looking for an upgrade soon... please take a look at my portfolio if you have time and tell me what you think....

It is a nice picture, but I think I would have preferred the whole flower to be in it, not just the inside.

Heidi, the particular web you have selected for this shot is good, in that it is large, it is well placed with regard to the light source, and it even seems to have small drops of water in it (if I see correctly). The problem is, I don't see a single spot that would be in focus! If a picture of such a delicate thing as a spider web is to work, it needs to be absolutely sharp, IMO.
Another thing I'd suggest would be to move even closer to the web, because its structure is what I think you should really concentrate on. In this pic, you have plenty of space all around the web (except at the top where a bit more room would be OK), which hinders that concentration somewhat. If your camera can't focus from a closer distance, perhaps you could crop the image differently.
The lighting and the background blur are quite fine, and I like the story that you've supplied with the pic. If you can take this shot again, with more work on the sharpness and the composition, you'll have a very nice image.

If you could change the blue and make it dark red, this would be unforgattable. Still a nice work though
