Heart of Bone
For Macro Mondays theme 'Stone Rhyming Zone'.
Vertebrae are exquisite examples of art in nature. This specimen (2 cm across at widest point) is a thoracic vertebra, still attached to a delicate rib. Found on a tiny island, it is likely from some sort of waterfowl, possibly a cormorant judging from the prevalence of that species in the area and the pile of black feathers associated with the bones.
The heart in the reflection was only apparent with a very low camera angle and if the rib was pointed towards the far back of the shot, giving a nice dof effect at f11.
