Description First piece of my little "game" ([link] )

The word for this one was delicate suggested by ^RockstarVanity
When I read this word, the first thing which came to my mind was food, but I had no idea of what I should take a photo...till I saw that dead dragonfly on my TV (yes, I keep dead stuff on my TV)
There are some small cracks on the end of the wings, so I thought it would fit with the word and it's still somehow related to food...in a way...maybe

This is a great concept and I really love the originality. It definitely has a sense of brittle delicacy (in both senses of the word!). The chipped wing tips are just a great little detail which I think you captured very well!

While I absolutely am in love with the details on the wings, I feel that the depth of field should include a bit more of the dragonfly and the teeth. That's where most of the action is in this piece, in my opinion, and I think it would benefit from being in focus.

That aside, I think this is a very intriguing and original photograph! Great job!

Oh my god, this is terrifying! Large bugs, especially flying ones, freak me out so much. It fucking ROCKS that this is the picture for the word I suggested!

You found it last summer and it's still...intact? Do bugs not decompose like other animals?

DraculeaRiccy In reply to DarkKnightJRK [2010-01-26 09:35:59 +0000 UTC]

they don't when you let them dry-out. I found it dead in our swimming pool, took it out of the water and let it lay in the sun till it was dry. so no problem with decomposing
