Murders are beautiful.

No they're not. But illusions of pretty things I tell you, they fool us.
So there's a photo I clicked at Vanta's today. Bunch of ants were feeding on the remnants of a beautiful moth. And the dreadfulness of it was numbed by how beautiful it managed to look, the synchronized procession of the ants, and the wings of the moth still looking just as gorgeous while lifeless.

Illusions of pretty things I tell you, they fool us.

    Emm, do work a little bit more on the focus on the subject.
    A part of the wing and the ants goes out of focus.

    But ants are really a delight to watch :)

    @hAAthi: Thanks Rev!


    @Blasphemous: I had multiple shots of this frame, and I also had the kind you're talking about. Focused completely. But I decided against it, this photo seemed more.. apt. Explanation for that is looong, so maybe when I'm online for a longer time!
    And ants are awesome. I always wanted an ant farm :(
    hehh,cheers!
