A Six Spot Burnet moth feeding, not sure of the plant.

Canon 400D with Sigma 150mm. F9, 1/160, tripod.

All C+C appreciated.

That's a nice shot!
Why won't my new Sigma do that !!
The plant is Knapweed ( Centaurea nigra) by the way Matt.

Perfect DoF control Matt and a super BG

For me the image is slightly off balance - ordinarily I'd say take a sliver off the RHS - but you can't really because of the leaf on the right.

Great image all the same though

Very well done indeed, super control of DOF and the colour of both the subjects and BG work really well here.

Superb Matt. These aren't the easiest of moths to get right either.
