 I rescued this guy from a spiderweb. Too beautiful to die that way. They only live for about a week, hoping to mate, but not eating or drinking. Have to appreciate them in the brief time they're here.

The sharpening is a bit intense for my taste, but this was still one of my highest scores (an 8 from me) because the presentation is just so, so sublime. I love the choice to invert the "typical" framing here. It really makes the sense of "eyes" in the moth immediately legible.
