Great vibrant colors here and excellent DOF! I can't tell with the small version, but I wonder if the moth isn't completely tack sharp? The only other thing that caught my eye was that you could perhaps take away a little of the empty space up top. Experiment with cropping and see what looks best.

Nice catch!

Beautiful Subrata. I have yet to successfully photograph a bug.

I did have the same reaction as Teewinot re focus. Judging from the leaves, your point of focus is toward the top of the frame (moth's head is pretty sharp), and as the leaves/moth move closer in the focal plane you lose a tiny bit of sharpness. Wonder if f/8 or 11 would have given you more sharpness throughout.

I noticed the moth isn't sharp too. I believe you focused on the leaf by mistake.

Thanks guys, you are right, the moth is not sharp. I used autofocus with a zoom and there was a light breeze, so the camera must have fooled me. I should have moved a little forward and backward.

ELAY your new Avatar looks good!
