The photo was captured on the 1st January 2015 in Patagonia, Argentina, and what a way to celebrate the new year!

A beautiful place is made even more so when seen in a different way. Photo taken by James Hamer (Reino Unido) - Travel/Vacation

A spider dining on a fly in the late afternoon sun, taken in my backyard. After I noticed the spider, I observed it and took photos of it for around 15 minutes, trying to catch it at the perfect moment. It was very special to be able to capture this ordinary but beautiful scene in nature. Once I got the image into the computer, I fell in love with the contrast between the cool colors of the left side of the frame and the warm setting sun on the right side.
