I swung at this moth with a tennis racket to kill it since they lay eggs and destroy vegetables and crops and I thought it could serve as a model during the remainder of it's life. That was probably too much information to share but it's true. They are great (terrible) pests!

Oh, how sad! So delicate and lovely even in death. The tones are perfect. My favorite of this challenge.

I love the post-processing here. The soft, smooth colors and the liquid shallow DOF... Gorgeous!!

Magic. My favourite in the challenge by far. I really like this. There's a delicacy to it. The composition, colour toning and DOF are perfect. The subject matter too. It evokes feelings of sadness and silence. Oh my. It's brilliant.

I hope he's not dying and he flew away. Your minimalistic shot and cinematic title create such drama in this shot! Like the tones and border, too.
