Hello Srikumar,
A beautiful moth shown in an attractive vertical composition. I love it's mixture of multicolored markings and the detail you've obtained is excellent. Nice soft lighting and shown against an attractive blurred BG.

Hi Srikumar,
A very nice close-up of this moth. Amazing colors and excellent detail and focus.
Regards Jiri.

beautiful picture. We have those here as well, I call them polka-clown moths :)

Hi Srikumar,

The vegetation is framing well the moth. The point of view is showing the details of the Crimson-Speckled Flunkey moth. The good luminosity is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.
