Description
I took this shot a while back, not long after I got the new camera. I have been debating on whether or not to post it, because night shots are not something I have a lot of experience with. If you think it is terrible, please tell me and I will zap it from my gallery. Also if anyone has advice for improving such a shot it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your much appreciated comments and have a terrific week!

Difficult to made these shots of night ! a wonderful subject ! He seems to be on the full moon ;o))))) Nice work Wendy !
not terrible at all .. its really good for a night shot they are harder to do ... !!
looks good to me. Like how the image is design too
WOW!! You didn't get burnt by the bulb taking this did you? I would have. POV is magnificent.
Nice shot! I also like the POV! bravo!!!
the main problem in a shot like this is getting the focus on the critter instead of the background. if you have manual focus then it could be avoided but not always. still an excellent shot of this moth
I concur. Cool shot!
Cool shot. WandM
He he, attracted or deceived? :)
Nice shot and nice to see it! The only reason for deleting pics for me is, when I dont like them anymore. When everybody keeps only the "best shots" in the gallery, maybe beginners would be easy discouraged, thinking they are untalented, but photography as well as texturing and rendering can be learned. But as I said earlyer: This shot isnt bad.
Cool shot Wendy! One thing you can try on photos like this is playing with the "level" of the exposure in your image editing program. "Level" refers to setting the highlights and shadows of an image by plotting the darkest and lightest pixels to black and white. Adjusting this optimally should bring up the color of the light to closer to white, and will bring out some definition in the underside of the moth as well. After adjusting the level, no contrast adjust should be necessary, and the image should have a nicer appearance overall. I'd play with it and see! Have a beautiful day/evening Wendy!
Great work here!!!
