Brilliant. There is nothing that would make it any better than it already is.

Even for a moth, this guy has character and some nice texture in his wings. I know what you mean about contorting your body to try to get pics of these darn things! I finally got two pics of them, but I think that they are moths as well...We'll get them sometime!
I think you've ended up with a beautiful butterfly (er..moth) picture! The flower gives all the colour needed, but there is still so much moth that he is definitely the point of focus!

Haha... I like you photo, it's very nice and original! And also I have had a few good laughs here reading all the comments plus your replies!
Moth or butterfly... doesn't really matter, they are very similar, aren't they? But I though moths were active at nights.

Hardly any sharpening. Bright sunlight, moth was almost inside the lens :-) and this was that split second that it sat without moving. It's a very hairy creature, insipid colours and full of pollen.

Even though this isn't your 1st butterfly, you can certainly be proud of your 1st moth. This is excellent macro work.
Best wishes,

Dear Linn, the plant "Lavandula angustifolia" in the cupboard (lavandula spica L. or lavandula latifolia Villars) is the better for the moth. Very good composition, detail and colour....Great work, congrats.

I look forward to your first butterfly pic! :>)

Have you got a good wide angle lens Chris? :-))))))))
And now it seems as if my butterfly is in fact a moth! Ooops! Will I ever be able to handle to teasing?

Hi Linn,
It's a moth, they do tend to flutter their wings more than butterflies! :) That explains it now! Thanks for the reply. Now I have to go look up what is the specific difference between the two, but there IS a difference...(I think...LOL)
Lori :)
Amazing 2nd photo, thanks for sending it!

Lori, no effect used. Just pure luck getting it into focus! :-))
I don't even know if it is a butterfly? It is very hairy, and it had a lot of pollen on it too. Do moths also collect pollen?

Here's the same butterfly. This is how it was "drinking" from the flowers - very similar to a hummingbird, isn't it? It almost never stopped flapping it's wings.

Your posting is just beautiful Linn! Very colourful and sharp at the places it should be sharp. I like the background colours in contrast with the bright colours of the flower and butterfly a lot. Be proud of this capture!!! Greetings,
Diana.

Hi Linn,
I DON'T HAVE A BUTTERFLY yet. Don't see many of them for some reason, not sure why!
Good catch, one you really had to 'bend over backwards' for! LOL
Yes, at least it landed on your kind of flower!! I'm curious what kind of effect did you use here? While it worked on the flower center, did it make the butterfly look grainy and a little blur? Or, was this a strange looking butterfly??
LOL I don't know, but thought I'd ask!! :)
Nice job!!
Lori :)
