Delicate and fragile, but what is it?

Truth be told, I thought it was a close up of some really old china that had started to break down.

I also thought the same as Amber, I think it's an insect wing, may be a dragonfly.

All I could think of was an insect wing. It’s a great closeup!

What an incredible photo! The detail in a dragonfly’s wing is truly fascinating—so delicate and beautifully intricate. Vince has a great eye for capturing such unique shots. I love the idea of the weekly challenge too; it makes the experience even more engaging

Was he using a macro lens when he took this photo?

I thought it was dried soil

That's exactly what I thought it was. I have one on the dresser where I keep my doll house and other treasures.

I never would have guessed that, that's for sure

It looked more like Broken crockery. So well it was difficult to imagine it as dragonfly wing. Such "puzzles" do test us at times. And interesting as well !

I would have guessed the photo showed the framework for a stained glass window without any glass in it yet. When I was still on Bubblews, a friend I'd made there made a stained glass art object. It was a partial moon with a red-haired woman sitting in the moonbow. (She gave the woman red hair to match Pretty's hair.) In our last house, the stained glass object was in an East facing window so it scattered rainbows across the kitchen in the early mornings. In this house, it's hanging on the East side of the kitchen but we have so many trees that the sunlight doesn't touch it. Hang on a second... Photo is mine. Stained glass art in my kitchen.

I had no idea what it was

Creation is beyond our ken. So much that we take for granted that keep us alive even. Sadly, we destroy what is given including our own species for no reason even. I couldn’t make out what it was.

I would not have guessed dragonfly wing.
