Comment by Teafran:
More of a lighted shot than a creative use of lighting, this image falls short of meeting the challenge criteria in several ways. While a good image, the author might have chosen to use the available lighting to create an effect rather than just a image that is actually of snapshot quality. A little more thought would have helped as there are possibilities in this image which would not only have met the criteria, but have placed high.

Blue lighting makes very interesting effects on the palms

Would love a closer view of this to see the texture on the wings and/or antennae (moths often have really cool fringed antennae). Picture is a bit soft in focus and the heavy shadow at the bottom feels intrusive.

The shadow on the bottom is distracting. This is a nice subject for texture but I think it would be more apparent if you moved or zoomed in closer.

This shot really needs to be in a lot closer for me. The shadow directly under is also a bit distracting.

Comment by Teafran:
Too much blank space which detracts from the subject. The shadow on the bottom of the image is a negative. This would have worked much better with at least a third cropped off the top of the image to increase the impact of the subject matter.

nice try with this one, but the little guy is not really in sharp focus and the shadow is a little distracting. i like the negative space above a lot though and the gradient from the top right to the bottom left is awesome

don't like the shadow that is in the photo, lacks sharp focus
