The photo is quite nice, and the crop is great too.

More importantly, we're glad to hear you're okay! The members here have been thinking of you.

we survived with minimal problems. we lost an old shed and some branches. Luckily the typhoon veered north and we missed the worst of it. I was going to try for some pictures but my wife decided falling coconuts were probably tougher than my head.

Thankfully, you're okay, Brian.

The news pictures we're getting here and the reports of the numbers dead, are horrific. A true tragedy.

The crop suits the picture. Nice shot as well.

Might be a toss up about the coconuts and head. You are a photographer after all. Good to hear you pulled through the typhoon. Quite a tragedy though

Surely you can't be suggesting that, as a group, we are thickheaded.
However, speaking for myself mind you, I cannot argue with the premise.

yes it was. no one expected a storm surge. Not too sound callous but with any typhoon we expect death and destruction but no one expected or dreamed in their worst nightmare what happened.

we got lucky when the typhoon veered north. and we just heard that there is another storm heading our way. Hopefully not as bad.

Great shot Brian,
If you're looking to stretch your legs in PP you might consider cloning out the green stalk directly behind the moth.
It was very disconcerting to read about and see images from the typhoon in the P.I. and not have you come to mind.
Good to hear you're safe and sound.

[Letrow]

Nice one and I have no problems with the crop whatsoever.

[Daisy Mae]

Glad you are safe and well in such a terrible natural disaster.

If I am honest about the shot..the thing that commands my attention over everything else is the big white splodge of what looks to be 'bird crap' on the leaf.

Hi Brian,

Great to know that you are safe and sound... Beautiful moth but I too find the white bit distracting... My favourite image of yours to date is the bug on the beautiful green leaf.

Nice compelling image.

200 mph winds lashing around and this man is worried about a image. Brian you will do me, top man.

Safe and sound is a good feeling right about now. I did have a go at cloning out the green stlk but I need more practice to make it look natural.

I can see distracting but if you follow his very long tongue you will see he or she was eating. the The white 'stuff' was needed for honesty? On my blog i posted a cheeky grasshopper and twig on leaf you might like. (it was not really up to standards to post here with the comment on the bottom)

A long time ago I was a lighthouse keeper (Ivory Island Light station, Canada). One of the lessons learned was that once you have prepared as well as you can you might as well relax and enjoy cause there is nowhere to run and nothing to do. Not particularly brave just a realist.

Brian, I am glad you are safe.
