Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted August 16, 201262 views5 comments
I don't shoot much macro. This is one I ran across on a hike earlier this year. The OOF RLC bothers me a little but not much as that is not where the eye tends to go anyway.

I like this Chad, great lines and detail in the leaves and the moth pulls the eye right in. I would like to see it also with the moth right side up instead of belly up but you can't have everything

Nice find and capture. I did not notice the LRC until you mentioned it. I don't think it is an issue. Certainly a different perspective/pose for the moth. Looks, well, unalive.

Yes, Scott, he looked very unalive when I found him there. But perhaps he is just a deep sleeper. thanks for the comments.

I wonder if an insect is holding it there! It definitely looks dead...belly up!

I like the contrast of the moth against the green background. Good comp and the background has nice lines in it. He does not look very alive.
