Good morning :-) Amazing close up and great contrast in colour xx
Wow, Mick, you really captured this well, you never think of a moth as being so beautiful!!
nice mood, great composition
Fantastic shot and details. Superb colors :)
Glorious detailed macro. Super capture. Mick, the rosella is a fruit, don't know its origin, however they are made into a gorgious red jam in our part of the country. I will, in time try to capture a pic of a bloosom. Tkanks for the query. Cheers Phill.
Superb macro, fantastic details. Have a great day too, Mick!
Gosh, Mick! I got really excited when I saw this excellent pic! I received Michael Chinery's field guide to the Moths of GB and Ireland for my birthday last year, because of my increasing interest in all things with 6 or more legs. Evidentally there are 50 or Pug moths, who generally rest with their wings outstretched like yours. I don't expect you share my obsession with finding out names, but I think this is the Common Pug, Eupithecia vulgata, whose feeding plants are a wide variety of trees,shrubs and herbaceous plants. So now you know, even if you didn't want to! SUCH a clear photo!
Really well seen in this image Mick... excellent shot, great details!
Wonderful macro, and great DOF, Mick. Looking forward to more. This is a wonderful pose he gave you and great details. :)
Wow! Great capture Mick, I like the tea towel background, sets the moth off perfectly! Superb detail and you can actually catch just a bit of movement in the wings. Thanks for sharing your grans button story:-)Nice coincidence!
