Hi Jose,
an awesome shot of this beautiful caterpillar.
Sharp with beautiful colours.
Only down side is the noise but a noise-reduction software could clean that up.
Well done,
Joe

Hello Jose
THis is and excellent macro of this caterpillar. Great sharpness, fine colours, nice soft background and a fine composition.
TYFS and regards, Ulla
Hola José,
Superb macro of a full-grown Swallowtail caterpillar.
Fine sharpness, detail and as usual for you the lighting is excellent and the dry browns of a Spanish late summer combine to provide a great blurred contrasting BG.
You raise a good point in your note as to how soft and fragile creatures like this caterpillar can survive the baking sun. I can't provide a simple answer to that.
Buen trabajo amigo!
Gracias por compartir esta foto.
Saludos

Hola José Miguel,
Pues vaya que tiene su historia esta foto!
Pero finalmente te saliste con la tuya, y con una muy buena foto de la oruga.
Me gusta la composición en diagonal que armaste, y el tono del fondo refleja las altas temperaturas que nos mencionas.
Buen trabajo y un gran saludo,
JM

Hello José,
what a colourful, well fed caterpillar!
I've seen so many adult swallowtails these years, but never any of their impressingly beautiful caterpillars.
Classical diagonally well composed image with bright but subtle colours in front of reddish brown background that seems to tell of a dry summer meadow parched by the summer sun of Andalucia.
Possibly caused by some rather tight cropping and high ISO settings there is some noise in the background - but that was mentioned by you and might easily be removed by little postwork.
Most impressing story of the circumstances of the caterpillar's survival techniques under those very hot conditions. Thank you!
My best regards,
Peter

Hello Jose,
Oh, this caterpillar is as nice as the beautiful butterfly it'll become! What a colorful insect that you captured very well with nice details and good composition. I like the fact that it occupies the whole frame. There is a little noise in the BG but I'm being picky here again :) I hope that you’ll have a break of hot temperature soon; I would have great difficulty to endure this climate as I’m more a Nordic person than a tropical one :) During summer time, when it is very hot, I always complain but you never will ear me complain in winter, even if it is very cold… Thanks and have a good weekend!

Hi Jose
The clarity and sharpness is great! Your caterpillar has a beautiful colour pattern. I to, feel for him in such hot temperatures. The lighting here is nice and soft and really brings out his colours. Well done and I wish you a few days of rain.

Muy buenas Jose
Me quedé con las ganas de ver las orugas y donde vivo sólo he visto una mariposa, sniffff, snifffff y mira que tengo ganas de "atizarlas" a estas bellezas, desde pequeño eran mis mariposas preferidas..... tendremos que esperar y ver tu "fotillo", preciosa por cierto.
Un abrazo.

Hello Jose,
I was visiting a couple of galleries when this shot caught my eye. I don't know how big the beast is, but it really looks impressive here !
Good sharpness and focus on the head. And what colors I like the soft ambient light and warm background color.

Hallo Jose
This is surely a nice fat caterpillar, which you managed to capture very closely and with great sharpness. The detail is very clearly seen and you where lucky to capture this worm so close. I like the lime green colour and the red and black patterns and textures on the caterpillar. The fine hairs on the end of each paw is clear and displays well. Well seen and captured. Thanks for sharing, and have an enjoyable day.
Best regards
Anna

good to see the caterpillar of this fantastic colored butterfly.
background very good to accent the caterpillar but focus a bit off and also there is some overexposure on the upper part of the caterpillar
TFS!
Wohhho nice picture. I like the caterpillars and this is beautifull, I think that colors are fantastic,its constracts are great!.
Speaking about your picture:
Very nice close up shot, very good focus!, and good POV. Somebody mention the bad light. I dont know why is it not good!. I'm not proffesional but for me the light is gooood.
Thx!!!, and best regards from [Tandil - Bs As - Argentina]
