 Little Mole had been living happily ever before, feeding on the worms of the soil until one day a big rain came that almost suffocated him. He could barely make it up to the surface, but up there it just wasn’t for him. The sun came out, heated up the air, but the soil was still full with water so he could not return to the cool underground. He tried to cross the drive way: it might be dryer on the other side, but he could never make it; he became overheated and died. Fly’s stomach was all empty: he felt he was to die from starvation, when Little dead Mole caught his eyes. Quickly landed on the poor little fellow, filled up his stomach and lived happily ever until eaten by a frog…..etc.

crisp detail, nice use of thirds and, use of low angle.

I suspect this will not score highly - but I am fascinated by the shot. Great clarity and colours, and perfect positioning of the fly.

Not an appetizing picture - but one which tells a story as old as time . .

Very good

I don't see a story here. Just a dead mole on the road with a fly on it.

I heard about those flies that are specially trained to perform CPR, but I've never seen one! :D
