Convolvulus Hawk-Moth

Found this guy sticking to our gate the other morning. I followed Denise's example, @lyndemc and moved him gently onto something more photogenic and textured - he didn't complain.

Great textures and detail

[Iris]

yuck! But great picture

[Taffy]

Great effect by moving it. The textures are quite wonderful and it's a strong closeup of its face.

[Judith Johnson]

Great shot

[Milanie]

Wow - this came out great - love it in b&w and the way you presented it.

[Kathy]

Wonderful portrait. I like how detailed it is so that I can see the swirls on its head.

[Margo]

Oh MY!!!

[Stephanie Swift]

Such great texture and detail, wonderful dof, fav for me.

[PhylM-S]

wow - fantastic shot! I love the artistic liberties he allowed you to take with him. Totally surprised he didn't fly off but glad he didn't - the detail is great.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

What a capture!! He looks very intimating (or at least it appears he's trying to project that quality). Amazing focus on his features. The detail you captured is amazing. Cool that he let you relocate him.

[Issi Bannerman]

@lyndemc Thanks Denise, although I'd never thought of trying to move him if you hadn't mentioned that you'd done a similar thing recently!

[Lee]

Great detail.
