    Default Theme: The Moth and the Moon



    The original photo for this was of this moth in the daytime. I changed it in PS to nighttime, made the moth into a glowing moth, and added the moon and stars. Any C&C are welcome!

    Christopjer I like what you were trying to achieve here with "Moth to a Flame" theme and it is done well. Just one small nit. The moon should be in the distance, you have it overtop some of the foliage which puts it in closer perspective than in reality, but maybe it was the surrealism you were trying for. Just an observation. Otherwise I like it!

    Christopher, I like the glowing moth! The scene has a surreal feel to it. I like the night effect also and see Jackie's point. I would take some off the bottom and add a tiny sliver to the top so that your moon-glow is not on the edge. Well done! Look forward to your next one!!

    Thanks Jackie and Denise! I tried in this repost to fix the issue with the moon by making the moon a bit smaller. Not sure if it worked, though. I also cropped some from the bottom and added a tiny bit to the top. Let me know what you think.

    Hi Christopher, I think making the moon smaller made a lot of improvement. Love the colour of your moth too, almost like he is dialed in to the frequency of the moon!
