This is a really nice portrait of a caterpillar. Nicely sharp, and I love the translucent green - nice job on that. It's unfortunate that it chose to stop right in the way of the broken branch in the foreground, but that's barely noticeable. The lower right is kind of oddly divided from the rest of the picture, but that doesn't disturb me too much. Nice job!

Jason, wonderful soft light on this subject, and a most luminescent one at that! I really like the caterpillar's position and the detail you've captured. I would suggest cloning out the bg twig, it is drawing too much attention from a beautiful caterpillar! Great to see you posting! :wavey:
