Workshop Note
Impressing documentation of this giant moth with fine details all over. The reflections of white wall are likely to cause underexposure of all the dark parts. Those parts - in this case covering the whole hawkmoth - may be brought out by some little postwork:

Photoshop Elements:
- backlight reduction: -12
- fill flash tool: +9

or by a combination of
- slightly increasing brightness and
- slightly reducing contrast.

Hope you enjoy.
