Description

"Contradictions of perspective. Contrasts of light. Contrasts of form. Points of view impossible to achieve in drawing and painting. Foreshortenings with a strong distortion of the objects, with a crude handling of matter. Moments altogether new, never seen before ...compositions whose boldness outstrips the imagination of painters... Then the creation of those instants which do not exist, contrived by means of photomontage. The negative transmits altogether new stimuli to the sentient mind and eye." ~ Alexander Rodchenko

Digimon mentioned Mothra yesterday. Well, here is a view of a real moth, looking photographed from below looking skyward. It was perched underneath an Angel Trumpet blossom. You can see another image of this moth HERE. ----- Melanchroia chephise - White-tipped Black - Hodges#6616 Other Common Names larva known as Snowbush Spanworm Synonyms and other taxonomic changes spelled "Melanochroia chephise" on a number of web sites; a misspelling? Identification The adult's white-tipped black wings are distinctive. Range Florida and Texas, south to Paraguay Habitat dry habitats where the foodplant grows Food larvae feed on plants in the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae) such as Breynia and Phyllanthus species ----- Thank you for your cocky comments on my last upload, Seeing Eye To Eye.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!! A MOTH!!!! And an exceptionally hairy one as well. Soooooo disgusting!!!!!! Dont get me wrong though...your macro i just superb. Crisp and clear. But man oh man does that insect creep me out or what. I gotta say though....this particular moth is way more pleasing for the eyes than the nasty moths we get here. Very impressive shot once again....however...ive never been a huge fan of textured frames. #;o) Have a wonderful day!

This has got to be one of the most crispiest macros ever taken of a moth. Well done buddy! Love the detail on those antennae. I disagree with Zacko about the "eew" factor of moths (love the little bastards myself, so cute) but sort of agree with him about the frame. Your usual solid black with a single-pixel-wide gold border would work better for this one. However, frames aren't very important.
