What a sad shot but beautiful in its way, and I agree that putting the colours back in on the flies is an inspired touch. Tim

I can completely relate to that, and i'm really sorry. Thank you for feeling able to express how you're feeling, and for sharing the experience with us.

Thanks Kate and Flick for the comment, no matter how many times you see this regardless of what it is, I feel a lost and utter void. CCClark

This is such an evocative image - new life and yet dead. It is a tragedy. Kate

Poignant, and i hope posting this was cathartic. The subtle touch of bringing back the colour on the flies is very good.
