I like the composition and love the dark background, but the color on the wings looks overprocessed. I'm still scoring it well.

Wow! This disguise is so good, it is hard to tell if it is in focus. Very nice capture.

Your photo has given beauty to what I would not see. Great sharp photo.

what a cool photo.

Good close up -- the lighting in spots is a bit harsh and it hides some details.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 07:55:35 AM
Nice light on the butterfly, good detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 05:38:26 AM
very interesting, great lines and detail, works well against the black background
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:40:57 AM
interesting pic, it looks to me almost as if it was 'abstract' macro...

thx, brano

Great camo bug! Good colors and shot.

Beau.

Interesting butterfly. Strange colors, but there's a lack of detail from too much contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:57:56 AM
too much contrast here,
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:14:06 AM
Good details on the butterfly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:19:13 PM
Seems to be lacking detail IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:57:44 PM
Interesting texture, almost foil-like.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:23:45 PM
I take it this is a moth and not a butterfly...not sure what the differences are..but interesting colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:21:42 PM
Captured texture is great!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:06:34 PM
The details are very nice. Good use filling the frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:06:41 PM
You did a great job bringing out the texture of this unique wing, wonderful..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:42:06 AM
I bet this bugger blends in well with his surroundings. Nicely captured.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:10:36 AM
a little hard to see the detail the eyes/face, even though I know it is there.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:38:32 AM
He looks like he's fossilized.. nice lighting though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:09:57 AM

 03/12/2009 10:09:57 PM

Fascinating little guy! Excellent detail to show him off.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:41:37 PM
Nice composition and capture of an interesting creature.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:24:07 PM
This really emphasises how fragile the wings are and how pretty. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:15:26 PM
Image feels a tad over sharpened, which detracts from this for me. The composition is rather standard. Nothing too interesting minus the subject itself.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Likes: focus, subject, lighting
Dislikes: black BG
Score: 6

Is that it's true colors?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:24:55 AM
This is a well done photo of an interesting subject. Unfortunately, this just isn't a very attractive looking butterfly, nor are the colours particularly striking overall. The technicals are very good though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:25:20 PM
Wow! What a butterfly. Never seen such a riot of colors, textures, and shapes. The yellow gold sections resemble cured tobacco. Great macro.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:38:38 PM

 03/11/2009 05:40:13 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:07:24 PM
Interesting insect. Nice detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:10:17 PM
Would you call this a "Goth Moth"? I have never seen anything like this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:07:35 PM
It hard to see the details
 03/11/2009 08:39:27 AM
He looks pretty cool against the black background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:29:43 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:35:20 AM
The light does wonders for this one!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:13:59 AM
I would have cloned out that little green to the left in the black area but a very nice unusual butterfly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:51:24 AM
Interesting patterns and shapes with nice colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:31:03 AM
very interesting patterns on the wing, looks like great camouflage
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 11:07:09 PM
Amazing creature, don't believe I've seen one.

A little over sharpened.

REally looks like a leaf.
