Gosh, this took me by surprise. A photo of this? Why would anyone want to capture this scene? And yet, the composition is perfect, really love the detail and textures. Yes, it is a part of nature, and it is original and your skills proved worthy in this work. Well done!
Rob, referring to THIS ONE think it will be a suitable wall hanger too (after the insects, and so on, have done their work). Perfect way to keep each other company, lol. Very 'surprising' (lol, again) posting mate!

This is a outstanding piece of art work and it looks like this poor bears will very slowly become a fossil my friend .Stunning detail and great colour tone plus composition as well Rob.
I can see the ram's rib bones scattered to the left, top and one if front of the skull. some of the flesh here was likely eaten by a mid-size predator/scavenger, but not enough to leave teeth marks on the bones. Large predators like wolves and coyotes will crack bones with their teeth to get to the nutrient-rich marrow inside. I'm guessing the majority of the cleaning job on these bones was done by insects. And yeah, I did a double-take when I first glanced at the thumbnail. You've aptly demonstrated, Rob, that not all photography has to be "calendar pretty" in order to be a good photo. This one could have many different uses and messages and you did well to shoot it and test our sensibilities. I, for one, like it, and would be curious to know where you captured it. -Nik
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Good one Rob. You had the bull by the horns with this one.
