This was surprise guest on the kitchen door.
Once it opened the coiled tongue (think so) to touch the surface.
Thanks for viewing.
Requesting your valuable c&c.

Looks good, Venugopal. That coiled tongue is a special addition. You've got good sharpness in the head and a fine background. There are at least 3 black dust spots that should be cleaned up (because of their size, I expect that they were on your door, not the camera sensor).

I like the perspective and the excellent detail, Venu. The subject shows well against the nice bg. There is a white line running down the right side that you could clone out, but this is a very minor suggestion. Fine capture.

Venu ..some fine magnification of the moth here. I like detail on the face .and the antennae which stretches to the end of the frame.

Thanks Mark and Scott, putting the corrected image ( I have deleted previous image which was uncleaned one).

Hi Venu,

You have a nice portrait of a skipper. The features of the face are captured well and the details in the left antennae are excellent..........Jim
