    I am missing the Lytebox to assist me advising on alternate crops

    Hi Brian,

    With this, I like the concept and the out of focus highlight blobs - I'm just not convinced you need all that negative space at the top of the image, I think I'd crop 25-30% off the height, perhaps a slither of the right hand side too, so that the moth is positioned close to the 'upper right thirds' point.

    Is the subject on a window pane, and has the shot been rotated by 90 degrees to give the reflection 'below' it?

    Cheers, Dave

    I love the colours. I actually like it with the negative space. That is only my opinion though.
    Cheers Ole

    Very nice Brian! I think I would crop a bit off the top as well though.

    What has happened to the lytebox anyway??

    I am missing the lightbox too did I do something to disable it?

    I tried to reduce the top area but their is that nice box effect and once it was gone the shot just lost something for me.

    Indeed! on a window pane and rotated. And just about out of my height range.

    We are in agreement about the negative space.

    I was instantly reminded of the Cottingley Fairies for some reason . . .

    My shot was certainly not faked. Heavily post processed and imaginative but not faked.
