friendly,

Hello Chris.
Beautiful image of this lovely moth.
Excellent sharpness, DOF and lighting and due to that details and colors are wonderful.
The soft color tones in the background, wich matches wonderfully to the colors of the grass the Burnet is holding itself on, and the way the Burnet is standing out greatly against those BG colors, is very beautiful.
Only thing I personally would have done different is making this a vertical composition with some more space on top, in front of the moth.
Nevertheless a beauty and great joy to look at.
Thanks for sharing and the good note.
Best wishes,
Harry

Hi Chris,
Nice clear photo, the subject is very well shown. I think maybe if the photo was cropped like a portrait view it might make the insect more of a focal point in the image. Good photo,
regards
Matt.

Hi Chris.
Your shot of this beautiful moth is simply amazing. Great lighting and superb colour reproduction. I like razor sharpness of the image and lot of attractive details of the ear and moth. BG is smooth absolutely and wonderful too. Bravo. Excellent job. My best wishes and TFS.
