I really enjoy the perspective and nice shallow depth of field. He looks like quite the hunter in this pose. Watch out for your trousers!

Thanks Kim - you make me laugh... take my camera away... or chop off my arm maybe, eh?... thanks again to everyone for your intereest in this shot... Nariman - I did not bracket for exposure on this shot nor do I find it necessary with the coolpix do that... I use the preview screen to shoot with and set the exposure... these old eyes can't make much sense of the point and shoot viewfinder so I don't use it at all... I took about seven shots of this moth and erased all but three of them... I then selected the best shot of the ramaining three based not on exposure but on subject placement, focus and what the moth was doing...

John, I'm going to take your camera away from you if you don't stop with the nasty bug close-ups! hahahahhaha
Incredible how close you can get to these guys and how much detail is included! The moth was probably loving the light that was on him! I really like the contrast between white moth and black bg.

Thanks all for your comments. Jeff. The angle here was determined by the need to keep the background clean as there were some highlights I needed to avoid and because I was handholding the camera during the 1/4 second exposure against the kitchen table. The fuzzy part is actually the edge of the table. This was the best of three attempts. In the other shots, the edge of the table hid the bottom of the moth's feet.

Have no idea what kind of bug John but this is a really nice looking portrait! Perhaps a little too much bottom but the DOF you have here gives this one an eery look to it. Sort of like the attack of Mothra or something like that!

supposedly it's exactly that ordinary moth which will eat your trousers and jackets
:)
outrageously fine perspective: we know
one day they will inherit earth
