| If you were curious, this is a Cecropia Moth. If you think the adult is crazy looking, you should look up some photos of the larva! |

| I think the main reason you got nailed is that this image doesn't meet the challenge, it doesn't say pure to me. People also tend to like their macros to be razor sharp. Instead of driving up the ISO you could try opening the aperture all the way (if possible, I'm not familiar with your camera). ISO 1600 seems a bit overkill if you were shooting in good sunlight (again I don't know the conditions this was taken in), I'm thinking the camera decided to close the aperture rather than increase the shutter speed. You could maybe try to use 'sports mode', that might favour higher shutter speeds. The burnt highlights in the background are also not helping this image, next time try a higher angle to get the sky out of the frame. Overall a good macro capture. |

| Hi Joe! Good details on here, but could be a bit sharper. Beautiful insect! |

I think many people in this challenge are entering an image with any theme whatsoever and adding the word 'pure' to the front. Pure should convey completeness, being undiluted, innocence, etc. This isn't a pure example of anything.
Technically poor too. |

| Pretty good Marco at least the subject. I just don't care for the lighted background I think you could darken that in ps to make this a better image. |

| Great macro, doesn't say Pure to me though. Not even Pure Fuzz, because it it was pure fuzz, it would just be a fuzzball. |
