Valarie, this is just stunning and what a capture....you certainly have blessed us with some unique beauty today! #8603516

Ron McEwan May 11, 2010

I have difficulty with photography, but finding an original title has escaped me totally. So don't worry about it Val, this beautiful image makes one forget the title anyway. #8603593

Monnie Ryan May 11, 2010

Beautiful capture -- never saw a moth that color before! Outstanding, Valarie! #8603719

Ellen Hodges May 11, 2010

Absolutely unique and gorgeous capture, Val!! #8603872

Marty Straub May 11, 2010

You must have been stunned by this magnificent composition, Valraie, and hopefully you're back to your usual self. You placed the bg perfectly with the dark area surrounding the main subject, and even some dark area for the perrfect framing stem on the left. Then you master the details in pink and blue ~which I think is the perfect title, too. #8603993

Julianne Bradford May 11, 2010

Pink on blue is perfect for this stunning image Valarie! I have never seen this kind of beautiful pink insect before! What a stunning capture. We'll see this one again I bet. I think Marty's right, the title doesn't matter, WTG! #8604126

Valarie- I think your title is perfect. Its simple and direct and does tell what the picture is about. So no more fretting on the title, its perfect.
I am so impressed with your macro work here. First of all the pose is so perfect, can't get better than this. The colors are gorgeous and my goodness girl, did you ever highlight the definitions. What textures, love the fuzz of the plant. Remarkable, beautiful work my friend.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy. #8604814
