The lighting is reallyl effective. Like someone has flicked on a switch inside the cup.
Great work - like V1 best

Certainly an interesting effect and well executed.Nice work Pete.
Pete, this has inspired me to try it with some Porcelain fungi - their translucence should provide some interesting effects (although their sliminess might hinder it!). I have been using my R1C1 kit mounted as a "ring flash" I will have a go demounted now I have seen the possibilities! ...but don't hold your breath for anything spectacular any time soon!
This is great Pete, would love to try this myself.

Nice photo.
Well, as ever, I'm going to be awkward and say that I prefer something between the two. 
I prefer a bit of detail in the background just to give it some context and help hold the image together. The flash has worked well here, give you some nice rim lighting, but a touch intense in places.

Beautiful shot, very inventive with the technique which has produced an eye catching result and I love the light on both the fungi and the web.
Maybe a shame that it's nearly central, but not sure you'd want to lose too much of the moss on the right.
But my big question - would you have awarded this an HC if someone else had posted it?

This is stunning. The light is wonderful and great to hear how you did it.
Have to disagree with Tim though. IMHO it has to be central to get that lovely symmetry with the web. The moss itself is a delight and it's good to see the 'habitat' and get a good séance of place.
It may not get an EC/HC but it gets an award from me
