Wow, never seen such exciting beauty and the amazing colors. Well captured also exposed and composed nicely, TFS.

Hi Luciano,
Beautiful moth, and as always, you used flashlight in an extraordinary way to get the most proper light conditions. Mesmerizing pink with great textures on the wing as well. The only thing I might have done differently is a vertical composition. Otherwise very nice image.
Kind regards from Ireland, László

Ciao Luciano, deliziosa falena, fantastici colori, dettagli super e splendida nitidezza, bravissimmo, ciao Silvio

beautiful..

Bonjour Luciano,

L'insecte est bien placée dans le cadrage. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du papillon Rhodometra s. sanguinaria. La lumière met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Pierre

Well captured Moth, Luciano. Excellent background and exposure. In my personal opinion, vertical shot could have been more attractive here.
Thanks for sharing,
Regards,
Srikumar
