Thanks, Sondra. Actually, I'm not a bible reader either. After I determined the rotated avocado was, in reality, a grasshopper, I googled "locust bible quote" to come up with the title.

It looks like a piece of trash with some type of wild zoom technique. I find the effect interesting but the overall photo boring and ineffective in this challenge.

I have not idea what I am looking at, but it's pretty cool looking nonetheless. I'll have to take your word that it's related to the topic.

Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and they were given power like that of earthly scorpions.


but is very very deep your shot... maybe too deep for most of us I think... i'd like to see more decay...

Locust or scorpion? Can't tell and I'm not sure what it has to do with urban decay. No vote, I'm in this one.

Something flying in the sky if I see correctly? But I can't define what it is.
Good effect.
