Moth photo composition critique

[mikesieber]

I shot this picture in haste and didn't really have time to get the framing the way I wanted it before he flew away, but I'd like to know your opinion on the composition, specifically, the blade of grass to the left of the frame. Does this hurt the composition, and if so, how bad?

Shot with Nikon D70. 50mm lens with 36mm extension tube, ISO 320, f/8, shutter 1/90.

I didn't even notice the blade of grass until you mentioned it.
I don't think it would have bothered me at all had you not pointed it out

Great capture though!

I like the shot a lot, though I think it would benefit with the blade of grass cloned out to create some negative space on that side. Nicely done for a hasty shot.

Thanks for the comments. I think I'm going to leave the pic as is. I'm not very good at Photoshop and I'd end up making it worse, I think.

Just don't mess with the original.

You can chop and change the image all you like, as long as you are working on a copy. Get yourself familiar with photoshop while you're at it.

I'm new to this but I think its great!

I'd recommend using the blur tool in photoshop to blur out that blade of grass. It's a good shot regardless.
