    I like the colors here. The flower head looks sharper than the moth. I like the framing.

    This would be a great standalone image of knapweed flower, but moth is a plus. Colors look great. moth is sharp in the eye, looks a little soft elsewhere. I can see it hard to get everything in good focus.

    Thanks for the feedback, I was curious to see what you thought. The image is tad soft because it is a camera generated High Resolution image and there must have been very slight movement of the moth, they very often shiver once removed from the egg boxes in the moth trap. It sounds illogical but if I had used the hand held setting it would have been sharper this is because the camera takes several images and then composites them and the hand held version is reliant upon slight movement, the high res tripod version is not tolerant to ant form of movement whatsoever.
