A slightly different perspective.
Thanks for looking.

I like this ! The bright flower parts just below the moth are a little eye grabbing though.
Still nice and different.

nicely captured Des, and well composed. It looks a touch flat on my screen, although I am on an uncalibrated laptop.

Thanks guys - I have toned down the leaves and altered the curve. I think it works a little better.

Nice idea Des :wavey:

Does look a tad flat and washed out, but works well :wavey:

I love the perspective and head on view here. Agree the purples look a bit fluorescent on the original :smile:

The head-on and low viewpoint is superb but would agree with the nits regarding the brightness and unfortunate bits of folliage beneath the main flower which take the eye away from the main subject slightly, not a lot you could have done about that though.
Like the way the fore and hind wings are all visible.
