I’ve been experimenting with merging layers and put this image together for a contest that had a “dark moth/butterfly” theme. It's best looked at in full view since it's very dark in the thumbail version.

Hi SnowDog, I brightened my image and re-submitted it (it now looks super bright on my monitor). I'd be curious to know if you can see it properly on your monitor, or if still appears dark. If you have a moment, I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
