Hi

A great find and a lovely image - my one suggestion would have been to angle the camera so that the lines of the moth pointed slightly into the frame towards to the open spaces


All the best
Matthew

nice shot, great looking moth, did you get any frame filling shots? possibly a challenge with the low light you had, but you could always raise the ISO a stop or two.

I tried to get the full frame but sir the lens minimum focusing distance only allowed this shot Nikon 200-500 mm.
