John:
Beautiful moth. Nice eye contact and both comb antennae are well displayed.

Almost 3D, John, and you don't need the glasses.

Great shot john! Nice and sharp and I love those antenna. I wonder if they they we are odd looking when they are looking back at us?

Beautiful detail & color - excellent lighting. My taste would be to try cropping a bit of the bright wood at the bottom.

Amazing portrait! The detail is phenomenal. It struck me that its look is a bit "quizzical," which I think adds a lot of charm to an image of a bug. Fill flash worked nicely here. Love the perch, too. Congrats for the EP.

Wow !! Weekly Pick !! So surprised I nearly forgot to get my pension

Thanks to you all for your support. After a lifetime with film it has taken a while to get into this digital thingy- but your support has certainly helped no end. Thanks .
