Jayne Hinds Bidaut:  Turtle skeleton
I was originally drawn to this image because I saw the description first and it said Bidaut used photogram tintypes and I thought that was awesome.  The form is very recognizable and the claws are a visual confirmation that it is dead.  But the context which it is displayed in is interesting because it looks very organic like water.  And the gesture of the turtle mimics swimming.  This photogram conveys the line between life and death and how it can be fooled with in photography,
