I originally took a series of these two geometrids for image stacking, but I found this single image that looks pretty good. K5 IIs 300mm f4 plus 40mm extension (1/20sec at f9.0, ISO 500).CS Levels, TK's sharpening for the web, slight crop from the left............Jim

they look so delicate. Lovely image with a lot of visual interest. My only nit is the dark leaf on the right that draws my eye. Nice work

The gentle greens and all the details in their wings work great, Jim. Having the leaves going soft here keeps the focus on the moths.

I like how this image shows the beautiful, delicate, translucent wings of these moths. Very nice, Jim!

I don't know how I missed this. Looks like a flower in the thumbnail....but, then I see, it's 2 (or 3) butterflies! Very cool. This species only seems to land on my glass windows at night. I never see them during the day.
