Oh, it looked so promising as a thumbnail... What I mean is that the image quality is just pretty bad, blown out highlights and little details in the flower, it just looks "muddy" for lack of a better word. Something go wrong in the post processing?
I don't remember the name for that moth but that species is too heavy for the flowers so they hover in mid-air and drink the sap or necter with their long straw-like tongue. Anyway,I like your image.10
Always wanted to catch a moment to photograph this strange looking creature, you did well but have the feeling this image is cropped from a much larger one, nice shot even so..
This is one hard guy to get. I know, I have tried. Nice stop action, but even so it still came out a bit too soft in focus. The leaf on the bottom seems to really be sharply focused, so
I am trying to figure out why the flowers didn't come out as sharp. Maybe a smaller aperture opening would have given the flowers just as much clarity.
these are without a doubt the weirdest insects in existance and firm proof God either has a sense of humor or contracts out some of his work. It's like a furry lobster with wings. Excellent clear image, beautiful copmosition, neat subject, 9
