Ascension

This little freshly killed -- crushed by car tire, perhaps -- little rodent was photographed before sunrise at first light. I think it may have just died seconds before I walked up upon the scene. The asphalt glittered like stars, and the poor creature's eyes still looked viable. As I edited the photo, once the film was processed and scanned, I couldn't help myself from interpreting the scene as if the creauture had died and ascended into the heavens, now living among the stars above. The scene is even more convincing after increasing the shadow tones and adding contrast. But still, the original version is plausible as well.
