This fellow escaped death as I trod on the stick he was clinging to ! These moths I don't see that often and I thought I'd take his portrait ! I have experimented with a border this time, tell me what you think and maybe any other improvements I could make. I really like the earthy toned background :-)

You're right, the background compliments the subject very nicely. It's a very pretty shot. :-)

Nice shot. The border's a little heavy, I'd reuce the white portion of it by maybe 75% and the black portion by half. Also, you have twig detail bleeding through the white at the bottom. I'd also consider doing some destauration on the BG, not a lot, so it's a tad more neutral and the moth's colors pop a bit more.
Robt.

Thankyou for your comments and I'll try reducing the border a bit. I'm sure this moth has a scientific name but I just named it tiger moth because of its vibrant colours resembling a tiger ! :-)

Yep, there are tiger moths - one of the most famous biplanes (in England, anyway) was called the Tiger Moth, developed from the Gipsy Moth in 1931. It was used as a training plane in the air force.
I had also never seen one of these moths, and I'm from Australia. Nice shot, Meg.
