This doesn't really cut it, in my opinion. Nice photo, not triangles though. Sure, I see "angles" but a triangle has 3 distinct sides. And from a 3rd party point of view, "triangle" is not what I see in this photograph on any level. If you can find even one triangle here (without the viewer needing to draw an imaginary line) let me know.

Comment by metoecus:
Freud would certainly have fun with this one. On a strictly photographic note, the blurry leaf / wing-looking-thing in the background looks like it may be an intentional repetition of the form of the fly's wings, or it may just be some blurry thing in the background. If it was intended, having it oriented in a cardinal position relative to the fly (e.g. offset 90, 180, 270, or 360 degrees from either of the fly's wings) would have enhanced the effect. Posing the fly would, of course, be the hard part. If the repetition was unintentional (or the fly just wouldn't pose), you may have been better off narrowing the DOF a bit further to reduce the clear lines in the background.

Quite beautful! I'm especially taken with sharp macros of flowers.
