I like where you're going with this, and the title fits the image well Balan.
I'm not sure the led flash was up to the task for this one, the dramatic light's pretty harsh.
And it does fit the theme. Hope the locusts weren't too upset with your prying eyes:wink:

Neat that you could pull this off with a flashlight. Yes, the light is pretty harsh. I wonder if putting some layers of plastic wrap or a plastic bag over the flashlight would soften the lighting a bit. Definitely keep experimenting!

Fascinating use of the led, Balan. Pretty good result I would say - it certainly makes for a striking image, if a touch harsh.
