How fast was your strobe light when you took this picture? If you don't know the specifics, then, did you set it on fast, med, or slow, on the strobe light box thingy? :p

Wonderful shot! I love the feeling of motion captured here.

Nice crisp shot as far as the moth not moving, but I think the lighting did it a real disservice, the glare blowing out the details on the moth almost completely, and even somewhat on the flowers. I would have liked a bit more depth of focus, so that the back of the moth\\'s wings were not so blurry (and the right two flowers, as well).

Nice timing! The focus could have been better, the flower on the left is in focus but nearly nothing else. I would like to have seen sharper focus on the butterfly.

Comment by Bitz:
This could have been an outstanding photo if the focus were better and the colors not washed out. You certainly were at the right place at the right time to catch this butterfly in motion!

Your main focus appears to be on the left part of the plant and not on your main subject.

looks a little overexposed for my taste, but still a great shot

Nice stopped motion! Too bad about the harsh glare. 8 Rob the Swash

I like the idea, but for insect shots, I like to see much sharper shots.
