Thanks Dan. It's always very interesting to hear what others look for and see. The subject is a jet fighter. It's a detail abstraction, not a classic documentarian photograph of a fighter. Every bit in the photo is a part of Lt. Scott's fighter jet, all massive shapes, colors, parts of this

PESO - Beetle on a Leaf

Uninspired title. Have no idea what type of beetle this is - how many million species of beetles are there? He's about twice the size of a lady bug. I rather liked the iridescence (which I suspect would be spectacular in the sun) and the little white tufts on his sides:
