 I love these things !
But they are SO fast...
After snapping it in front of many different backgrounds I was lucky enough to snap it in front of the sky giving me that much needed shutter speed !
Sharpened, cropped with adjusments to curve levels.

superb shot, should be said those are extremely difficult insects to shoot this well.

8 - Nice and clean. Good capture. Like the focal area(s). Perhaps a fraction more in focus, not sure, but definitely more stop motion (difficult obviously) make this even better in my opinion. Like the composition (although maybe a little tighter at the bottom, losing some more stem, not sure) and simple colors - although perhaps the colors tweaked just a fraction, may have given this even more, who knows.

I like how the negative space surrounds the two objects.

Oh good good capture. We have so many Hummingbird moths here and I can't seem to catch one. You did very well! Bravo.
