Hi Saeid. Please include your shooting specs with your post. (Camera, lens, ISO, f/stop, shutter speed, tripod or hand held, flash or natural light) Thanks.
Hello dear Steve
I take this photo with Canon 700D+Canon 55-250mm (handheld, with M mode and manual focus) in Mazandaran-Iran
ISO 100, f 9, s 1/250, 250mm
Thanks Saeid. You captured an interesting feeding pose of this colorful moth! Very nice sharpness within your Depth-of-Field, pleasing light, good composition, and a clean background. For my taste, I'd like to see more Depth-of-Field on the top of the flower head. Looking at your shooting specs, you might have achieved a higher f/stop by increasing your ISO to 200 or 400 with only a minimal increase in digital noise. Just something to consider next time you're in the field.
Nice image as presented, I would consider lowering contrasts a little bit and reducing the whites also, they do not appear to be blown but I suspect there is a little more detail to be had.
Beautiful creature. Is it a skipper??? Excellent comments on reducing the contrast. I am not a big fan of the boxy crop for this image; there is a bit too much negative space above the subject.
with love, artie
