Hi

A smashing find and a solid image that it has been fun to see!

Regarding suggestions - personally I would have trid a vertical comp using the leaf to fill the upper frame areas, I think the leaf veining's would have crated the directional line needed to make this work

All the best
Matthew

Excellent detail and a wonderful moth. A very fine image as presented, though Like Matthew, I see other compositions - it would be nice get more open space above the moth.
