The green guardian

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID help if possible, as couldnt manage to get another view, due to the location

Came across this beautiful specimen of a moth which had taken refuge inside the crevices of a tree, an with no light falling in the dark area, the eyes popped in a bright fluorescent colour while the flash's light fell on it. The popping colour, and the shape, made it look like a devilish guardian of the dungeon, especially with that rustic and dark feeling

Agree the green shining eyes are captivating. The raised wings pose look nice..as if it is ready to fly away. I think the design of the military aircrafts these days are inspired by them :). Thanks for sharing.

Really like the appearance of the moth and your words describing it.

I agree with the previous comments. Nice pose. I wish you had used a narrow aperture. I understand that handholding makes it tough to use narrow apertures as you want decent shutter speed. However, with a higher depth of field this image would have looked even better. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
