Very interesting picture, great composition and very good colours, the DOF is very good, the important parts of the picture are in the DOF.

Nature's creation has no parallels. This is one among them. Good composition, DOF and colours. Keeping the important part (the markings) in focus makes the pic complete.

Hi Hollie
This is a great capture. The colours and markings are beautiful and the head is really clear in this shot.
Well done and thanks for posting.

Nice POV for a sharp (DOF is good) picture.
I think your composition is to much center (the caterpillar head should be more on the right -> See workshop)

It looks like an alien form, Hollie. I really like the macro shot... it gives us a face-to-face view. The color is stunning. Very nicely done!

Wow, great nose to nose shot with such an unusual little creature! The shallow DOF gives this capture strong impact. -Jenn

Hi Hollie, great view! I always think these look like snakes or puppies! Anyway, it's a great shot. I liek the perspective and the DOF is well directed. Very nice work.

Hi Hollie.
I love the face of the catterpillar.
The DOF works well to accentuate the front end of the catterpillar.
Love the colours.
Well done
:)

Hi Hollie! I do not have the time to write a decent comment. I give to you the well deserved smiley.

Thank you for sharing pictures and notes and for the enjoyment which they give to me.

Have a wonderfull day!

Haha, this is a wonderful image, Hollie! Your depth of field is superb and creates an aura of mystery to this animal.

A great photo, because of the interesting subject, and the eyes are especially strange!
I like the composition, the caterpillar appears to be coming out of the picture at you.
F/13 should be enough, you'd think, but the back is still out of focus, but it doesn't spoil things.

Hello Hollie,

Very interesting and nice picture. The Dof seems to be very shallow, even at f13. I really like the colorful 'eyes'. Composition is great. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Great use of the DOF here Hollie. It is very sharp and well exposed. No nits just a pleasure to look at.

Looks somewhat like a cartoon character. Focus is excellent, but like some of the others, I would have liked a bit deeper DOF.

Hollie,

I really like the big "eyes"! The composition, POV, sharpness, DOF and BG are all great. The detail showing the subject's unusual skin pattern is absolutely great! TFS,

Hi Hollie,
I love this shot! Spot on exposure has rendered beautiful color saturation and sharp detail. The fake eyes to scare away predators look amazing. Very Cool!! :)
