Also this is a great photo of a scull, but I liked the one on the icy pond even better. I do however also like this background with the green vegetation and the cones, and the lovely moth adds a lot of interest.

By your notes it sounds like you are breathing these moths, but still it must take a lot of patience to make it sit on the scull.

Also this photo nice and sharp with clear and well defined details, and a perfect exposure. I also appreciate the nice and natural colors.

The photo has a strong composition with a very good balance between positive and negative space, and the framing is perfect. A truly great looking and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

Thanks so very much for your wonderful review! Sometimes the moths aren't very cooperative,it's very annoying when they want to fly off during a photo session-lol!

Fascinating to view this ! Well focused, good evening light, nice detail throughout, well composed with the pine cones nearby and the green grassy background. This was very interesting to view, thank you !

Clever title for this one! I like how you have captured your Luna moth on one of your skulls. It's like a combination of some of your earlier posts. The antlers on this skull are fascinating at the base and the moth stands out well against the color of the skull. I like the additional texture that the pine cones add to the scene.

This makes for a very interesting photo. The lunar moth really shows well against the skull. I love the coloring affects in the photo. Your detail is amazingly displayed throughout. Thank you for sharing.

I am assuming that the moth decided to land on this skull all by itself. This was a buck with the antlers. The skull looks blue with the lighting. Nice composition and framing. Concise, sharp clarity. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

I wish it was that easy,I had 5 that emerged from their cocoons and none were cooperative. I think I got about three usable shots with this one before it got agitated and tried flying off! That's why I have a net to retrieve unruly models- lol-at least I don't have to worry about my skulls taking off.Thanks for your review-it is appreciated!
