| The colors are so vibrant, it's pleasant for the eyes to look at them. I love how you captured the motion. Great composition. Congrats on the ribbon! |

| Nice shot of a Clear-winged sphinx moth. Their flight looks a little like a hummingbird's. I've had a couple of chances to photograph these north of Montreal, Canada. I'm surprised you have them in Korea too. |

Please allow me to thank each and every one who liked this pic.
To answer some questions...
Yes it was a difficult subject to shoot, it is the first time ever I saw this insect and followed it around for about an hour. The Korean people thought I must be a mad man because I was running around, grunting,sweating and swearing like a sailor.But it was worth it for me, of the about 1Gig I shot I can use about 40 pics only.
What made it so difficult is that this thing does not 'sit' still long enough for autofocus. So later on I tried to anticipate it's next flight plan, focussed manually and ...... became trigger happy.
To share I have posted a few more on my portfolio.
Thank you very much once again.

| Am I wrong to think that this is a very hard moment to capture? I was thinking I saw on discovery, or something, that this is a very hard moment to actually see. Whatever, very wonderful image. Congrats. |

Oops - just noticed a few more of your recent entries. My internet's been behaving so badly lately, I've been missing everything.

| Beautiful gold and greens. The stop action of the moth is really good too. If I were to change anything, I might crop out that touch of another flower at the top. I think there is enough of the blur behind the larger subject flower, to work without it at the top. Rich and lovely. |
