Comment from Yukondick
Great macro shot. I find the flowers overpower the butterfly a little. I grabbed this one and played with it. [rotated about 55 degrees counterclockwise and cropped tighter eliminating about 1/3 ball on left] I think it is an improvement but that is my opinion. I also don't know what you had to work with before cropping. If you want to see what I did contact me.

Nice exposure and sharp as I would expect.

Thank you so much! I was wanting to show the flower too as it is unusual. How was you able to do anything with it. I thought all you can do is make grafic coments?

reply by Yukondick on 03-Dec-2010

I use an application called grab that gives me a low resolution image that I can then take into photoshop and manipulate. If you want to see what i did send me your email address and I will forward it to you. I will eliminate it from my hard drive tomorrow. Program is not suitable for "stealing" photos but it works well for this kind of thing.

My email wnp20@yahoo.com Thank you for doing this. I need all the help I can get.

It is on its way. You don't need lot of help. I find a second pair of eyes sometimes comes up with alternatives

Thanks again. I have rotated things in photoshop before I did not know you could rotate anything but 90 deg. This will be helpful.

Love the clarity of this shot!
Lighting and focus are right on
Beautiful flower
The moth's body has an almost feathery look to it.
Like the color contrast of green b/g and white flower and brown moth.
Wonderful photo thanks for sharing.

Comment from Snappyviv
Whoa you are on fire today Willie! This is maybe even better than your other post. I love the symmetry of the two unusual flowers. That would be a picture in itself so to have the moth as well, is just icing on the cake! Great focusing and framing again, wonderful colour and clarity. I'm envious!
