Hi Jose. This is a first class close up of the unusual caterpillar. You have captured the detail so well with rich colours. A very good side POV/DOF . I like the pose on the twig against the plain BG. wel ldone TFS.

Hello Jose Roberto
Wonderful detail here on your Callicore cynosura caterpillar. I love the colour and his markings. I'm curious to know what he looks like when he turns into a butterfly. Excellent DOF, lighting and composition. Very good notes!

Hello José Roberto,
Congratulations on this fine unique image.
A fantastic caterpillar of a beautiful butterfly: the Callicore genus is among my favourites.
This is sharp and well captured with the use of flash from a fine POV, the horns on the head making it look really spectacular.
Well done and thanks for sharing this unique image.

Hi Jose Roberto,

Congratulations on the first. Not only on TN but maybe on the Web! Not only is it unique but it is excellent. Beautiful caterpillar with marvelous colors, textures and details. The horns on his head are fascinating. The dark background shows it off beautifully. A great accomplishment - congratulations again.

Hello Jose Roberto,

What an amazing caterpillar this one. Excellent composition and sharpness. Good light. A pity that the colour of the background is too dark to be able to see perfectly the "ornaments" on its head.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Jose
It is an alien ;-) It is not caterpillar ;-) Great sharp image, good diagonal composition, great OOF background. But of course the most important thing is the object. Fantastic cosmic caterpillar ;-)
Best wishes

Hola Jose,
Outstanding shot of this strange looking caterpillar with immaculate sharpness and lovely colours. I like the two 'antenneas' and the spikes on its green body. Good use of flash lighting and this image looks very attractive. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Thanks for sharing this fine image.

Hello Jose,

Very nice picture of a very strange caterpillar! You got a great POV letting us see both antennas very sharply. I wonder what the butterfly looks like?

I like the dark bg enhancing the larva.
