My final offering of moths from last year - more to come when we thaw out in the spring!
Pheosia tremula - A fairly common but rarely spotted European moth

Not sure if this belongs in the "true macro" section so please let me know if you want it moved to the "close up" section

Close enough. Nice composition in original. I slightly tweaked & cropped a bit.

Really liked Nikonian72's tweaking.
I was chuckling as I wrote that, because tweaking, among the kids I teach , is being high on methamphetamine. As in "He's tweaking, call the office."

I like what you did there Douglass.
I can see some subtle lifting of the blacks, can you let me know what other tweaks were applied? Thanks again
(Apart from the crop which did not pass me by!)

In Picasa 3.9 (free program), I slightly increased exposure, contrast, color saturation, and sharpness. The cropping & rotation makes orientation more recognizable to my brain. http://picasa.google.com

Nicely done - but not at all overdone. Thanks again
