  Thanks! I had to do some very SLOW (literal) manipulation of the leaves as it was originally in a fairly dark spot. Luckily, it was inactive and I was able to just pluck the leaf from the vine and move it to better lighting! Then, it decided it wanted to crawl on my finger! Posted 7 years ago

    Awesome! I really like the lighting and the natural background :). I'm tired of uploading moths on my dirty siding! Leaves are so much prettier! Posted 7 years ago
