love of and attachment to Art Deco — I don’t even know what it is, except I know it when I see it!!

MORE PHOTOS, PLEASE

I love art deco, too, and now I know why I think this moth is so beautiful.

Art Deco Moth too! 😊

And we LOVE THEM!!

Cool photo.

I don't know what you'd call a great photo if this one doesn't qualify.

for this one, I would like more detail in the hairs of the back but would have required better equipment and time

to a viewer with no technical expertise who takes photos only with her ipad, your picture couldn't possibly be any better!

I had heard of this moth but never seen a good picture of one. it reminded me of a magical night from my childhood in the '50s when a Luna moth landed on our screen door.

I mean, if you didn't tell me you took it, I would have thought it was a drawing

to remove it from my screen room. I removed the background with the idea of replacing it with something like a light or dark wood grain, but after several attempts chose to leave basically nothing which makes it pop, as they say

I wish a wider variety of sphingids would turn up on the dried specimen market. There are some pretty spectacular ones, like yours!

it was hanging on my screen room, in a location I could not photograph it, low to the ground and no light, so I got this foam tray and carefully urged it off the screen, placed it on a table, went in grabbed my camera and got this one shot before it decided to fly away. Didn't get the chance to try different settings.

Nikon Z6ii, 42mm 1/320, f/22, ISO 1600, almost all processing in PS Camera Raw and just a little noise removal in Topaz Photo AI and don't think any sharpening was applied.

but I captured this in MY backyard:

YER KILLING ME

my wife doesn't always look that angry, but in that photo she was telling me for the umpteenth time to put away the patio furniture for the season.

Laughing WAY too hard over here!!

😂

gg

rumors abound of coyotes in the area and we often laugh how exciting it would be if there were still pterodactyls or sabre tooth tigers around to make our run for the car much more fun. Generally after a couple of margaritas.
