    I really like this somewhat underneath view, with the widespread wings almost looming over the viewer. It is very dramatic and nicely different. The good details in the head, nice large eye, extended tongue, and antennae visually anchor those widespread, somewhat translucent wings. Good interesting perch and perfect blurred bkgd. Great catch! Maybe crop a bit off the top since all the visual action is down and that extra space up top is not needed.

    Crop shmop. This image is beyond spectacular. Sharpness, colors, moth are all superb. I got goose pimples when this one opened. Great work and TFS.
