Newly Emerged Six Spotted Burnett Moth
Canon 5D, Sigma 180mm, 1/3ss, iso 50, f13, Tripod.

Had to take two images as I could not hold the blacks of the Moth and the highlights on the cocoon in just one image. The cocoon was then blended back into the main image.

A superb image. The detail is terrific. Never seen a newly emerged one before. Really like the BG as well. :smile:

Excellent piece of work Guy, the image has such clarity and the wings are something else.

So rare to see a shot of one of these sharp from front to back. Good work.

Very nicely done. Nice detail and I also like the sheen on the wings. This from one Canon user to another! Nice choice of subject! :wavey: :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

the soft light is just perfect here Guy and shows the detail of the moth brilliantly. Also great timing to see one emerging like this, something I've never actually seen myself. A great shot.
