Great abstract! Somewhat freaky until I read the captioon : )

Very cool b/w macro. Love the abstract quality and the textures and dof.

Very abstract piece. It is cool in black and white with all the different shading! Nice job!
Antonis Sarantos06-Jul-2006 22:15
Excellent!
Sheila06-Jul-2006 22:12
Even though I did read your comment first, my mind still saw a many legged, very hairy creature which had come to an untimely end :-)
Great contrast and tones.
Guest 06-Jul-2006 22:01
Abstract, but with a feel of animal death. Bold image, excellent treatment.
John Beck06-Jul-2006 21:00
A great abstract. At first I thought it was a caterpillar which met an automobile. (Guess I too should read the descriptions).

Thanks, Gigi! I knew nobody would be able to figure out what this was :-) I may post another picture of a whole one that's not dried out like this one, just for reference.
Guest 06-Jul-2006 20:14
Sorry, I did not look at your description and I though this is rubbish!!! Would make an great B/W abstract let people think about what it is. :P Anyway, great llight in here. Nice capture!!!
Guenter Eh06-Jul-2006 20:02
My first thought was - this is an underwater shot! Superb contribuiton to the challenge, excellent contrast and light!
Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography06-Jul-2006 20:00

Guest 06-Jul-2006 19:51
I just can see beautiful tones. !! :-)
beverley harrison06-Jul-2006 19:27
i thought some poor creature had come to an untimely end at first!!
Jola Dziubinska06-Jul-2006 19:05
Looks like some monster. Nice light.
