[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The word moth comes from either the Anglo-Saxon "moththe" or the German "motte", meaning, simply.

Adults usually have feathery, thickened, or threadlike antennae (not knobbed or hooked, as in butterflies and skippers), and most species are active at night. At rest, many species hold their wings out horizontally, or hugged over/around the abdomen. Rarely, the wings are held together vertically above the body, as butterflies do.

Hola Gabriel,

Another nice shot from you! I really like the contrast of the butterfly over the trunk (maybe not so useful for the butterfly itself ;-). I like the details and the natural colors. TFS,

Michel

Hi Gabriel,
They don't look like much in real life but in a close-up like this it is a different matter!
Well captured, my frien... I'm impressed with the background you told him to sit on...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Gabriel,
Wow, beautiful Moth. Perfect detail, beautiful colours, nice and subtle in the Moth but beautiful rich reds in the tree. Fantastic shot, thanks for sharing!

Hola Gabriel,
Esta es muy buena, los detalles de las alas, cuerpo y tronco son muy buenos; la composición tambien lo es, creo que una de las mejores de hasta ahora.

Yo ne he tenido la suerte aun (o la haraganería de capturar imágenes de noche) para retratar polillas como esta Gabriel.
Me encanta el contraste de la mariposa sobre el oscuro tronco con excelente nitidez y colores muy bien marcados.
El encuadre es algo centrado, pero agradable al fin.
Es una captura nocturna o diurna?
Buen trabajo.
TFS y saludos... Ricardo
