    Exposure on the whites is good but looking round the edges of the cotton grass there are unnatural tone variations. The green background is a strange shade of green not what I would have thought typically associated with cotton grass.
    I have to admit I am looking carefully and I must be biased logically, though trying not to be after seeing the previous image.

    I did ask a moderator or whatever to remove my last post - the one I put on by mistake,- one I had been experimenting with.
    Apart from that- personal preferences such as seen in the many varied shots we see on this forum including many with artificial backgropunds will in my view always be of prime importance. - if not - whats the point.?
    A recent shot of a burnett moth had a similar colour to my cotton grass.- certainly alian to all the such species of the moth I have seen.

    I didn't realise you had asked for an image to be removed I will do so. You are quite right about the moth the background was very poor indeed, the colour balance was wrong but no one commented, if they had I would have agreed.
    The point in submitting images is to receive feedback upon their appearance this can result in favourable or non favourable responses, by being completely open to them, I feel I can learn and hope to improve my images by doing so.
    I have just noticed you have already removed the aforesaid image.
