This is a very nice picture. It is almost like a painting. This is one of the nicest compositions I have seen here. :toast: :toast:

Excellent composition, really very nice. In a perfect world the top of the wing wouldn't have touched the fern, but that's hardly a nit in a shot like this. Very well done, congrats on the EP.

Wow, stunning shot! You could always use a bit of cloning to solve the minor nit mentioned by Marsel--or just leave it as is, cause it rocks!

Andrey, I especially like that you let the curve of the fern form a natural frame around this beautiful moth. A beautiful, well-planned composition!
