Hi Saeid. Please include your shooting specs with your post. (Camera, lens, ISO, f/stop, shutter speed, tripod or hand held, flash or natural light) Thanks.

Thanks Saeid. You captured an interesting feeding pose of this colorful moth! Very nice sharpness within your Depth-of-Field, pleasing light, good composition, and a clean background. For my taste, I'd like to see more Depth-of-Field on the top of the flower head. Looking at your shooting specs, you might have achieved a higher f/stop by increasing your ISO to 200 or 400 with only a minimal increase in digital noise. Just something to consider next time you're in the field. :S3:

Very cool looking. Love the colors throughout this image. Great background.

Nice image as presented, I would consider lowering contrasts a little bit and reducing the whites also, they do not appear to be blown but I suspect there is a little more detail to be had.

Nice Clean Background. I do feel image is contrasty and could be toned down. Whites might be blown..

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful creature. Is it a skipper??? Excellent comments on reducing the contrast. I am not a big fan of the boxy crop for this image; there is a bit too much negative space above the subject.
