Description

My mother found this big old little guy in our garden.
He wasn't moving much. So she put him on a sheet of paper to examine him, just as a little girl would do, and called me to come take a look.

We watched in fascination with some remorse on the side. We never before had the chance to examine this sort of creature up close before. But still, we could see he would not live to see another day.

We decided we should do something, pay a last tribute to him in some way.
So it was I made this picture. The final respects for this small creature that slowly died on our doorstep, and hopefully, went into the light...

I like the composition (and the subject). I would have liked a sharper focus, but that may have been very difficult to acheive with a subject so small. Very good.

Nice details and textures. Composition is excellent – maybe boost the background to make it a purer white and give the image a slightly abstract edge?
Fascinating detailing in the wing – nice one!
