 A hornets nest on an old barn table worn by the elements. Ensure the sun is at an oblique angle to throw shadow, and cross the fingers and pray...

I find the textures compelling in this image - I guess we'll see if the voters do too!

Nice textures and colors. I like the honey comb design of the wasp nest on hte old (possibly worm eaten) wood. glad you kept the paint chips in it, they add a nice effect.

Good luck

Very good idea for the challenge. I would have like to see the empty hornet's next more close up to see it's texture.
