Beautiful combination of elements and enigmatic enough that you can make up your own story...

Germaineesque??? Jutilda gives me too much credit. I've got lots of company in loving this effect.

What a unique item to take the photo through, and how creative of you to think to do it.

I believe that is a mayfly. And very well focused one at that. Of course they probably are a different variety then on this side of the globe.

I'm not a big fan of kaleidescope photos in general. I do prefer this photo to the color one.

lol .. i was looking at your insect and wondering if he was a bee after seeing your title and then i read your comment ..
like i'm the expert .. NOT .. !!
but i got onto a site last year .. its this australian guy who has taken a gazillion photographs of insects and cataloged them .. some he doesnt know what they are so he'll say they're unknown, but mostly he'll have an idea of the genus/species or whatever its called to which the insect belongs ..
anyway .. here's a page on the site .. life unseen i've got a feeling your little guy is an australian leafroller fly .. but i could be completely wrong .. none of his examples of leafroller flies are exactly like yours .. but he does have a fly type face with those eyes etc ..
its a great shot marion .. love how he seems to be climbing that great big plant to get to the middle .. puffed out .. !!:)..

No offense to the other great shooters and shots in this SC, but I think this is the best image so far. So much of the process here is happenstance- shooting away while walking around town with the camera hanging from your neck. But the result is a product of your personal vision and talent. Both abstract and obvious. The swoosh of grey in the street draws me to the lady in red. I like the sharp lines and right angles. This is award winning.
