Spiderweb in a Different Light

I was covering a disc golf tournament in Peoria, Illinois and sometimes there's down time while you're waiting for the players to approach. I noticed behind me was this spiderweb glistening like a rainbow and how much they looked like guitar strings. Out of the 3,000 photos I took that day, this one stuck in my mind and I couldn't wait to get to my hotel to edit it.
