2016 05 19 The Giant Moth

In the fabulous butterfly house in Chicago. I think this is a moth and it was the size of a dinner plate!! Luckily for me it did not move. I was taking a shot of some tiny butterflies when I looked up above my head and there it was. WOW!!

The background was a bit messy so I took it into Topaz Texture Effects and had a play. I was pleased with the final effect - hope you like it.

Best on black.

Today is my 65th birthday and I have had a lovely day with lots of birthday cards and pressies. I was taken out to lunch with my sister and dear friend Amanda. I now cannot move!! LOL!! What a lovely day!! Back to the diet tomorrow!!

Many thanks for your great comments and Favs on yesterday's shots one of which made it onto the PP. How lovely to see it there!!

Fab effect of the light!

Gorgeous! And I concur... it WAS the size of a large plate! I love what you did with this image; it's beautiful and you brought it to the spotlight by removing the busy background! Nicely done!
