Nice image and comp Guido - and the dew drops on the hairs add the final touch :toast:

I hate to say it but to me it looks as if there's a faint cyan cast in there :wink: :wink: :eek: :eek:

I like this. There could be a slight cast but not too distracting. The positioning of the cat. is great. Any idea what the plant or grass is by the way ?

Another great image Guy. The plant looks like a sedge to me - drinker moths feed on those and a range of grass species.

Very nice... love it in fact. Crystal clear sharpness, great depth of field and the cool tone really compliments the subject. Nice composition too. The water droplets give it that little sparkle. :toast:

a lovely shot Guy and an impressive looking caterpillar. Very nicely taken, I also prefer the repost.

Really like this Guy. It's all been said, but the droplets on the hairs make the image :toast:

Repost is great (not that the original wasn't!). Like the positioning and the dew drops are fab :smile:
