Alison - Furry - Up Close

Aperture 5.6    1/250     ISO 800
Focal Length 55mm

I was trying to get some close up pictures of bees on a cloudy day. I had many shots that were uninspiring, but I was playing with aperture and ISO to see what I could do while hand holding the camera. When this moth landed it was just what I needed to bring some color into the shot. I had to crop the left side as I couldn't stay in focus and get as close as I wanted to fill the frame. I think if the bees had been above the moth, the angle of the moth wings would have led your eye up to the bees. However, the moth took off after a few shots and so I just had to go with what I had.
