  1. Wow, Rick, love the play with light. What are those rays reflected by, is it your lens, a piece of plexiglass or? Heavily wondering how you managed to capture these kind of light 'particles'. Posted 12 years ago
    1. Aah now I see your remark about a toy box, plex it is, or plastic? Wow. The ant is outside of the toy-box, given its reflection? Exiting composition. Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago
      1. Thanks Ludo. No tricks here, this is just a stray bit of lens flare, but I'm always looking for accidents like that.

        My accompanying words tell a less literal story.
