Brian, Jack, Bob S., Derby, Dave B., Bruce D., John, Frank, Ken, Joseph, and Cotty: Thanks much for your feedback. Very helpful and much appreciated. Joseph: The circle you see I believe is from a lens vignette, which I applied in Lightroom. My magic lassooooing skills stink. Tried it a few times and got frustrated. I really don't use PE5 much these days except for cloning, which is extensive on this shot. I was attracted to this creature for the patterns on its wings. I have done this shot in a very tight crop as well, but I thought I'd just post this version and subject it to the feedback waters. When I shot it, I had black & white in my mind. Here's the color shot right off the camera except for some vertical alignment adjustment:
