But a pouch of silver coins
The intense breathing
Of a dying animal..."

I located the face at the bottom, and used a yellow-to-white gradient, to put across 'mirth' as a 'sunrise' brightening an otherwise 'washed out' environ. The first thing that struck me when i saw the above was that the smile reached the eyes, and was complemented by the cheeks. That was enough.

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea...
The above is an
unstaged shot. I went to the botanical gardens to shoot flowers, but

I was on my way to the local coffee-shop to meet a friend when i chanced upon this most beautiful sight. I ran up to my flat, got my camera (Ricoh GX100) and lay down flat to record this moment in time. I wonder how many saw this. The leaf, to me, is the hand of God, and the droplet, a solar system within which is embedded another - perhaps ours - and which, i suppose, makes me an extra-terrestrial visitor.
All that glitters is not gold. For the black & white truth, look outside the canvas of your preconceived notions.
