Hi Howard,
Excellent shot indeed! The body of the moth is pin sharp and the blurred wings give a clear indication of flight - well timed and captured - Hope it makes a hundred

Howard fantastic shot both in this and WS images. Your PP work on the above shot is excellent and completes the composition. Focus on the body is accurate and motion blur in wings adds to the capture. Very good informative note accompanying this post. Excellent work Sir.

Hi Howard
I really don't know what is better...your photo or your work in post processing :)
kiddng: the photo explain itself.. great capture, that gives to the shot the real movement of the moth. I wonder that if you used the flash why the wings are moving !
Very good colours and moment.
You did a goo work with PS.
well done

Hi Howard,
excellent picture, well worth to be saved by the kind of "resurrection" you described. Perfectly well done work on the wing tip, nothing to be seen as added.
Perfect details, and a pleasant composition.
I also like the two workshop pictures very much.
They look very lively and pleasant.
Great contribution. Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter

Hello Howard,
Great shot! The tight framing shows lots of details, wings are nicely blurred and you did great postprocessing job - no signs of any cloning there. Nice to have the flower in the frame too!
VERY WELL DONE!

PS. I think the "head-on POV" picture is great. It looks pretty amazing, very unusall.

I know how much they are difficult to photograph. Colors are great. It is very sharp. Fantastic.
Resurection is very well perform. As I was looking for any fault in the process, I considered the leaf which is left and above. The added part is more blur than the original. But actually the blur part could also be a second leaf, more in the distance. So, indeed, perfect work. TFS.

Hi Howard,
Just looking through your gallery, this is a great shot. Firstly because it just is :-) I'd love to capture something like this, technically a great shot, and secondly because the cloning work is absolutely A1. I've looked this over and over and can't see a trace. I thought that the rear wing edge would be a giveaway because with patterns like that it's very hard to clone without the replication being obvious. No sign at all, so a great shot with some 'other-worldly' post processing too :-)
Cheers,
Adrian
