I found this moth recently at a local community gardens.

Any comments appreciated.

A fine set of images, Allen. I like 2 and 3 a bit better because there’s a touch more sharpness in the body. The centeredness of the moth in 2 adds extra visual weight, while 3 creates a nice dynamic feeling.
Does “wow” count as a comment, Allen? These are amazing. I’ve tried to photograph these little fellows in the past and failed miserably. But these are fantastic, nicely seen and captured.
Okay, you don’t need 3 do you, can’t one of these fine images be mine??? Wonderful series of images of a not so easy subject to capture. I think 2 and 3 would be my pick as well, for the same reason Mark mentioned. They are all very nice shots, and I would be pleased to have taken them.
Allen, This is a great series. In-flight image is outstanding. Love the others too. My favorites are 2 and 3. #2 looks sharper than 1 and #3 is a great flight capture. The flower perch is colorful and complements the background. oof background is a plus. You couldn’t have done any better on these images.
I like the third one the best. Rich colors and a very dynamic pose work very well. The second image is almost as good, but catching the take-off seals the deal. Well done…Jim
