Well I was walking around the yard looking at some plants my husband had transplanted when I stumbled on this empty shell of a locust hanging on the broken branch of a tree. I immediantly ran to get my camera to get a close up for the challenge. The sun was really bright on the side left side so I had to hold my hand up to block the sun out.

Looks good though the dof could be just a tad greater to get those small, black mandibles completely in focus. Also there's a dust sot on the right edge that should be cloned out.
