Details, DOF, & exposure look great Todd.
Well composed top shot, the back-lit leaf adds good contrast, texture, and interest.
Nice work :toast:

Nice find and an interesting image. I like the way the dots and patterns on the moth wings are similar to those of the leaf. The backlit leaf provides a good backdrop.
