Great behavior captured, good exposure, comp, and background, plus everything is sharp. Well done, Milan.

Very cool, well captured. Maybe a less tight crop?

What a sexy shot! (sorry, could not resist). Love it, no suggested changes. The bg is stunning. Nice work!

Perfect angle, perfect DOF, perfect sharpening. Looks pretty perfect to me!

Beautifully captured moths on a great background. I like the angles and the crop.

Nice image with good composition and balanced flash useage... Interestingly your moths show the same colour cast of the reflective scales on the wings as mine did:

Does anyone know if this is a possible distinction between male and female moth?

Hi!
Yes, this is the difference between male and female. Male is bigger on the left side and on your photo, male is on the right side.

Best!
