This fairly sized thing landed on the roses and was pretty agitated. It was
rather late so I had to use a flash and be quick!

Hello Marilynne,
You've got you're own lovely way with these fragile beings! I really dig the
way you look at them. I believe, though, that the rendition is a tad too shy!
May I propose you this one that I rendered scrupulously "to nature" given
the light conditions.

Thanks for brightening it up Kodiak. When I do that I tend to overdo it, so I usually back off.

Hi Marilynne,
Try first to go back to your memory… was is so dark or so pale?
Basically, all I did was to adjust the levels (the first and easiest way to bring a
photo to a good rendition).
Do it with the other pict of yours in your last post, and compare the results!
Have a good time!

Re: Lets see your Moths & Butterflies
Excellent shots. As you say, they are extremely difficult to get into focus as they never land. Had a few near misses recently.
Think this is a hummingbird moth.. extremely hard to capture in focus. Fairly low light, hence the high aperture. (60mm, 1/1250sec, F4, iso 3200)
In my garden yesterday.
