Macromondays: Restrictions
Thou shalt not kill. One of the general restrictions religions impose that it is hard to find argument against.
Personally I try to never kill anything, even insects. I found this example in the back of a cupboard.

This was an alternative take on the theme. Thought it may be more intimate as well as show more detail in the creepy crawlie. In the end I prefered my original.

Love your elaborate setup and moral dilema. While I don't like to kill bugs, I will if they break the code.

Great example! I love the near monocramatic color scheme and selective focus- Very interesting.
