Hello Pierre!

Bonjour Pierre,

Beautiful macro shot of this swallow caterpillar 'in action'! The sharpness and POV are greatwith great details. The natural colors are beautifully shown. The textures on the body of the caterpillar are very well defined and stand out well against the light colored blurred BG. Great job!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

PS: I am sorry as I have already crossed my point-limit for today, otherwise I would love to award more than one smiley to this wonderful shot. Kindly bear with me.
