experimental ressurection:

This was a dragonfly that I had kept tucked away in a box. Nearly perfectly intacted and totally empty, just the outer casing remains (exoskeleton). When held up to the light its was beautifully translucent. But yesterday I only had grey natural light. I had to take the photo at a 1sec exposure and f/16 to hold most of the detail. If you look close you can see then decay and detritus of time upon it. Which I could have cleaned up, but left as it was more poignant.
