Description I love butterflies and moths.

Once there was a huge moth in my art class, and everyone wanted to kill it. I gently picked it up and let it fly around me and crawl, I loved it just sitting there! Some people at first would wonder what was moving, and as soon as they knew what it was, they squealed "Ew I hate moths!!! Why are you letting it crawl up your arm?!"

What a stupid question! > I think they're so gorgeous!

Just the fact that I love them so much gave me inspiration to take this picture. <3

I agree. Moths are wonderful and adorable little creatures.
Again I like the sharpness overall, being able to clearly see the lines in the hand and the veins in the moths wings create a remarkable balance. It is beautiful and I got an emotional reaction towards the image, you accomplished this by the composition (how the moth isn't right in the middle) and the color concept, set by the gentle hue of the moth.
The tiny bit of sleeve that shows in the bottom right hand corner is a little distracting, I would have cropped that out.

Otherwise this is very stunning photo!

Longest comment I have ever had that only talked about the photo. Haha! thank you! Your opinion is greatly appreciated. I don't know why I'm saying this about the sleeve part, but sorry! haha I honestly didn't think about it at all, I was more focused on the colouring of the photo than paying attention to what was actually peeking out in the corners.

Again thank you so much. Perhaps in the future, I'll be smart enough to crop that annoying sleeve of mine. ^^

It doesn't ruin the photo in the slightest. This is brilliantly composed! ^^
With photography the smallest details must be considered, for the slightest things can alter how the image is perceived. It is the Art of imagery and works with the mind to evoke thoughts and feelings. That is why I love photography.
