072: Skeletal Hydrangea

Two hydrangea flowers, frozen, dried and worn bare by the winter. They have become fused together, and so create a kind of skeletal tent - complete with poles and smoke vents. The entrance must be underneath; I didn't check, but I can easily imagine a ladybird taking shelter under here.

This was a straight-from-camera job as I was away from home, no post-processing apart from a little cropping (not so easily done to an accurate degree with simple image viewer software.)

Settings: f/11, 1/125, ISO 100, 50mm M42, 29mm extension, 1/4 flash, foil reflector, handheld.
