Many of the fuzzy moths look almost like a charging bull when viewed head-on. This is an Imperial Moth that was attracted to my sheet/black light setup earlier this summer.

Cropped, SH to brighten some of the areas on the underside of the moth, contrast, selective color to clean up the whites, high pass and selective sharpening.

Wow, this is awesome!! I like the angle of view and the diagonal crop. It is the first time I see a moth from this perspective.

Hi Ken. This is an interesting perspective for a moth - it looks like a charging ram to me. :bg3: Excellent sharpness and DOF, I like the tight diagonal comp, and you did a good job opening up the shadows. Very well done!

That is so cool looking, Ken, those antennas do look kind of like ram horns. Nice details and comp!

Really nice, Ken! I got to see one of these at the Butterfly festival this year - they are very interesting to look at and you've done a great job of showcasing his attributes!
