Forester Moth

I know the background won't suit a lot of people but I have never seen one of these before. They are only tiny but are a beautiful metallic blue. The meadow was full of them. Unfortunately they were low down in the grasses.

Hi

the backgrounds a bit cluttered

and your running out of DOF towards the tail.

Other than that is its very nice

Hi Maggie
Just tht one light grass stem to the left
You did well to get this tho' - they aint big fellas. Bit of selective sharpening on the hind end might help a bit but you can't put what isnt there I suppose.
Good stuff though.

Nits mentioned but I like the colours you've captured throughout and hope you have more with a little more DOF..

Nice to see the contrasting colours of the flower and the moth.

Nits mentioned, but otherwise a nice and well composed image.

A nicely composed image The clone stamp and/or patch tool would soon tidy up that background if it bothers you.


Simon

that's a nice looking moth Maggie and a nicely composed shot. Minor nits already mentioned but still an attractive image.

Nice shot Maggie, nits already mentioned, I have been shooting these over that last couple of days and I find them difficult to get the colours to look right, but this looks good to me.
