The answer to what do you think this is?

Below is an abstract shot created using the posterization filter on my pentax kr slr.
See if you can guess what it is?
I welcome comments and guesses.

It is a stick insect from Northern Australia.
A relative was given a male and female in Renmark South Australia and before she knew it
 they had baby ones every where.
This pic was taken through the side of a small aquarium which was sitting on a table.
The pics weren't so good so I made a posterised version.
The insects are feeding on eucalyptus leaves.

The New Look Adelaide Oval

Today I managed to find some spare hours to watch South Australia in their cricket match against Western Australia in the partially completed and renovated sports stadium that is Adelaide Oval.
An overwhelming makeover in my opinion but we will have to get used to it.
It was day of many runs being scored with Klinger getting a century,Hughes a double Century and Head just short on 98.
A test match against England will be played here early in December.
Next football season the oval will host AFL matches.
Well I had my trusty pentax Kr so here are a few pics.

Pentax Kr Special Effects Filters

I have always been a Pentax fan since the 1970's(Pentax Spotmatic) and really enjoy the digital special effects you can do in camera on their latest digital Cameras.
I love creating an artistic look sometimes out of mistakes.
When you have a Pentax it's a good case for not quickly deleting failures.
I took these today of two of my Grandchildren playing the piano.
