Great shot of this pretty moth!
It looks like it's hanging on for dear life in a howling gale :-)
Very sharp and detailed.
Perfect exposure.

Well done!

There is a beauty in the symmetry of teh wings...and the butterfly is teh only thing in focus...AND if you sharpened it at all, one would never notice because of the patterns. You had a good shot to start with and ended up a winner and I'm sorry to have worried about you folks, but I am just that way. Not too many of us 'older' folks here. We have to look after each other:-)

merhaba Ivan,
nice to see both of you again.
today, you also posted a Lepidopteran species, but your different and belongs to a moth. As you know, they are known less than butterflies. Nice to learn more about them with your nice macro-shot. Like informative notes; focus, composition and POV also great. thanks. best wishes my friend

Hallo Ivan
Time is little, but I cannot pass without leaving my comment and appreciation for this beautiful photograph. Wow! A most pleasing sight. The rich and warm colours of the moth are stunning. Good focus and sharp details. The details of this photo are of high quality and really outstanding and the photo is jam packed with awesome detail and features. It is actually difficult to describe the beauty of this butterfly. Perfectly framed and pleasing to the eye. It was lovely to look at.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Ivan,
Outstanding shot of this gorgeous moth in a fine pose. Very impressive colours, sharpness, markings and details on its tiny wings and the bright sunlight gives it perfect illumination. I like the natural surrounding here and the way it clings on to those tiny flowers. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.

Well done, Ivan, as usual.

Welcome back after a week's vacation from TN, Ivan. Hope your family are well.
I began with a look at your workshop. My Gestalt makes me see a weird face.
The moth and the pink flowers make a beautiful composition. The colours and details are perfect on both the flowers and the moth.
At 1/1250, you have attained a BG without blemish.
Thanks for sharing and best regards.
