Folks..

Found this dead blue tiger..so thought I'd place this on a stone and make an image. Just to do something different. There were some small flowers which had fallen down.

Many thanks NPN for your support

Love the 'Title'. The angle of view is a little awkward.

The bf is in amazingly good shape for being dead, Balan. I think your approach here is an interesting idea and those small flowers add nicely. I think I'd like to see the bf larger in the image, but that does depend on what story you're trying to tell with this image.

Better late than never I say (assuming you don't have a live shot)

I think the spent petals scattered about make the funeral complete, great send-off Balan

Makes for a nice environmental image, Balan, even if the little creature has passed on ! Well composed with some strong textures brought out well.

Balan, The wings of this dead butterfly are not even tattered. The stone and flowers created the funeral mood.
