Moth

Recently bought a Canon A720 and been bumbling about for a while, happened to just come across a moth resting, what do you think?

I'm looking for constructive critism to improve My only concern is the tips of the wings look fuzzy, is this a limitation of the camera, how close I was etc, cropped it in Photoshop but still 1mb, pic.

Re: Moth

I'd guess you were in macro mode when you took the pic. You get a very shallow depth of field (i.e. how much of the depth of the image is in focus) with macro mode, which could account for the blurring.

Also the moth could have fluttered its wings a tad as you took the pic.
