Wow. What can I say except, THIS TOOK A LOOOONG TIME!

I treated everything on seperate layers before merging and doing my final tweaking. The moth lost some detail in its antenna, but I can live with that. This guy was SLAMMING my windows last night, so I ran out and took a couple shots :) The moon shot is old :) hehe

As soon as I saw him, I thought about that commercial where the moth is out helping people sleep, decided to try it :)

What a cool composite! L really like what you did with the moth... he pops right out of the screen. If this were something I was going to print or keep, I think I would lose the border all together. I think the greens in the moth are more powerful without it, and it would accentuate the negative black space in the composition. Very nicely done!

What a clever composition of images! I love the deep green you chose, the moth is absolutely glowing on the edges!

Those are probably the prettiest moths. Very nice! I like the mood you've achieved here.

WOW- this is a prize winner- I would make the outer green border a softer green hue as it distracts from this very imaginative composition :)

Sweet ! That's the right moth for that combo too.

Here is a spare pair of antennae if you want to use them in a re edit sometime.
