Very nice. The muted colors of the moth stand out beautifully against the leaf,

This is a beauty John. The soft tawny colors are really nice against that strong green BG. Very nice DOF and details are nice and sharp.

The colors sure do pop, John. This is a nicely colorful moth that is set off very well by the leaf. Your stack looks good with the exception of the extra line (do to subject movement) along the antennae and the middle lower leg. (Those look to be easily removable.)

Nice image of this little guy, John. I am impressed that you were able to do image stacking with a live critter!

Thanks all. Well spotted- heres a tidy up. Yes stacking is difficult with live insects- they like me, tend to twitch !!

Cheers

Very nice, John! I like the color contrasts. I really like the leaf detail also. The second post with the adjustments for the movement is particularly nice.

Every bit of the frame used John, I like the color combination, and the center comp. I guess the best way to make this picture and the dof too is spot on. The metallic shine on the leaf is the icing.
