Handmaiden moth

A high key capture of this dynamic little moth. I am not confident to specifically ID this Amata genus moth.
Wingspan 30 mm

  Simply brightening the mid-tones or eliminating them entirely. Cool effect not normally associated with this type of photography. I think Ruth used it well here. Posted 6 years ago

    Thanks Stephen. I've used the technique for a few natural world presentations - wasn't sure if allowed on JungleDragon, but it does show the specimen in detail nicely. Posted 6 years ago
