Altered Images Winner

Creepy crawler

Lotte Pedersen (Esbjerg, Denmark)
Photographed August 2010, Esbjerg, Denmark

Lotte Pedersen finds photographic inspiration in nature. “I’m fascinated by the ‘big’ small world right outside in my backyard,” she says. “I can go on an adventure just by stepping outside.” Starting with her photo of a red beetle, she overlaid a shot of a concrete wall to create the textured surface of the final image.

Combining these two images helps bring out the beauty of this beetle, yet in a natural-looking environment. I like it.

This photo reminds me of the absolute beauty, uniqueness and mystery that is "nature" at its best.

I agree that it is a great photostudy. So creative compared to the usual macro insect images.

This looks like exquisite Japanese art. Absolute perfection.

Surprised this photo has elicited no comments as I find the immediacy of that insect emerging from its old world canvas riveting. An original and fascinating photo study.
