Wonderful capture of the colors and reflections of this moth, Monica. I like the DOF here too and how it works with the flower and moth. :toast:

There sure are a lot of colorful moths in Italy. This one is very pretty with bright red marks on the black body. I also like the iridescent scales and clean BG. Well done. :toast:

Usually I don't like square frame, but in this case it works very well :)
