1:1 magnification, camera mounted on tripod. Lit with Canon 580EX flash off camera and hand-held.
This is a moth I noticed outside our garage. I brought him inside for a little portrait shoot. Just a short trip into the fridge, and he was real cooperative!

Very cool, fabulous detail. But - when I was voting I looked and looked at this one and could not figure it out - I kept thinking I must be missing something... and I was right.
I'm with Jeger, gave it a 6 but I couldn't figure out what it was either. I think if you had but "Moth" or something to identify it as a moth into title it may would have done better. Does it have eyes or are they covered up by the "fur"? Excellent Macro though.
i gave it a 7. i thought it was well-composed and lit nicely, but for the life of me, i could not figure out what it was a picture of...lol. now that i know, i'm still not sure i see it. i have looked at it for quite a long time, which is what a photo should get you to do.
I thought this was a great shot, and I love macro photography! Wonderful clarity, and I love the use of the mirror..the reflection adds to the image. I knew this was a moth. I gave you an 8!
Not sure what it is. The focus is good, and the subject is cool, but it just lacks pop. (not in contrast or color) I think maybe it's because there is too much of the same thing. The focal point kind of blends in with the rest of the image, making it seem bland. Sorry I can't be more specific. The truth is, I'm not exactly sure why myself. I voted this a 6.
Wow. I never would have thought it was a moth. I thought maybe it was a strange rabbit like creature with something weird sticking out it's butt. *shrug*
