Dear all:

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments and suggestions. I really appreciate your input and constructive criticism.

I was debating if I should post here and provide some information. In the end, here are hopefully the answers to your questions.

This image is a set up. The moths were live, raised from caterpillars, and released after wing expansion. They were well taken care of while in captivity. The black background was from a foamboard. The flowers were grown in two pots, not cut.

I used a Nikon D200 with 60mm Micro Nikkor, on a tripod, long exposure, daylight, next to a window in a house.
I thought of the many blossoms being a bit distracting. This is possibly the only image in the series (others not published yet), that has the most elements. I was thinking of creating something like a rug pattern feeling. Usually, I do my best to not have the image overloaded.

Thank you once again for your time and attention to my work.

Sincerely,
Andrey
