Lovely shot, great detail and I love the sheen on the wings, the background sets it off really well.

Black backgrounds work well with moths - I guess because it looks natural to us. Great shot.

As soon as you see the image the detail comes across as very striking! Lovely colours.

One of your best, you have the correct ID in the end, the black bg here really makes the moth stand out. Might have just allowed a touch more room on the right but that really is minor.

A really nice image David. Great detail. Lovely sharp eye.

I think Johns concentrating too much on inserting "smileys"
