Valarie, this is just stunning and what a capture....you certainly have blessed us with some unique beauty today! #8603516Ron 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. #8603593Monnie Ryan May 11, 2010
Beautiful capture -- never saw a moth that color before! Outstanding, Valarie! #8603719Ellen Hodges May 11, 2010
Absolutely unique and gorgeous capture, Val!! #8603872Marty 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. #8603993Julianne 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! #8604126Kathleen Rinker May 11, 2010
Awesome image Val!! #8604234Steve M. Harrington May 11, 2010
