I found this caterpillar in a dry plant. I wonder what it was doing there. I guess they don’t eat dry leafs. Or they do? The colors says; keep away!

Anyway the dry vegetation gave me the opportunity to have a nice background color.

Hi Gabriel
Wow, this is an excellent macro shot of the caterpillar. It looks like a tight-rope artist on the dry vegetation.
The composition is good with the diagonal thread across the frame. The colours are brilliant. The DOF is absolutely perfect showing every bit of detail on the insect. The BG is great, well removed and the colours enhance the subject very well. The exposure was also on the button showing amazing contrasts.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Gabriel,
great textures and details, also nice colours and diagonal compo. IMHO too much of empty space in the bottom and on the left side, but anyway the photo is really lucky!
TFS and best wishes,
Elena

Hola
Gabriel,
The diagonal capture is great. Well detailed and very sharp. BG does not distract from the subject - well done

Hi Gabriel,
This one really caught my eye.I really like the diagonal composition and in my opinion not a problem it is centered.Maybe all of the branch would give better comp...just a thought.Nice and sharp with good detail and vibrant but tastful colour...good job.

Hi Gabriel, excellent work, great details, POV, BG, DOF, perfect. TFS Kyle

wooow
que posso dizer uma macro excelente?
Está simplesmente perfeita! As cores, composição, detalhes...
Thanks Ana:)

Hola Gabriel,
Buen ecuadre con la oruga en diagonal, los detalles y los colores también son buenos. Pero creo que para que resaltaran más las "púas" de la oruga tendrías que haber cambiado un poquitín el ángulo para que quedara el fondo claro como el que esta arriba, y en algunas partes justo te quedó en lo oscuro; pero tal vez en el momento de sacarlo uno a veces no se da cuenta de esos pequeños detalles; a mi me ha pasado muchas veces.
Por lo demás todo bien, me gusta ese macro.
Saludos
Hernán

Great shot Gabriel!
I think that it was looking for a place to pupate!
It is the time when caterpillars must transform into a chrysalis, to start the metamorphosis, before it turns into an imago, as we say a butterfly.
Very good DOF and details!
Very good POV and BG!
5* and TFS!

Gabriel,
A pleasant composition with a strong diagonal!
Good colours and details in the insect, and he is probably only on the move to something better, to greener pastures...
Greetings,
