    This is the same pair as previously but here I managed a different backdrop.

    I like the pale blue in the bkgd, it picks up the blues in the moths very well. This image has an overall "cooler" appearance than the previous one, without the blue in the bkgd.

    Love the comp angle and the sharpness and clarity of the subjects.

    If it were mine, I'd neutralize the light orange area at center/left to create a more uniform, BG.

    Soft colors, wonderful image design with the whole stem at the top in the frame. Wonderful BKGR--I do not mind the orange patch at all as I think that it balances with the two flutterbies. Suggestion: open up the shadow a bit. I'd use the Tim Grey Dodge and Burn technique from Digital Basics.

    Hi Jon,
    Nice DOF on the subjects and I like the inclusion of the full stem on top. The BG looks fine for me. Nice image.
