Lovely image John, colours work well, really getting into this focus stacking aren't you

Of Course! I had forgoten about Mr Grant!
Frederic

Plenty of these about at the moment John and you have captured them very well in this image. Great use of DOF, but might want to tone down a few of the hi-lights. i.e. the bits of stem below each of the lower caterpillar

Kind regards,

Brett

Stacking at these wider apertures certainly turns what would have been a rather cluttered background,into a most attractive one.
Super image John.

Phil.

I've got ragwort but no caterpillars, not seen any for at least 5 years. Excellent stacked shot, attracting more comments than my stacked shot of mating snails. speciesism or just a better image?

Thats a lovely shot with a striking colour

Nice image John,
I see them here a lot also but it's still to windy and I'm to lazy to take a lot of stuff with me at the monent (holiday season :))

Eye candy! A bit like candy floss actually. Wouldn't want to taste it though...

Images such as these make me want to give this a go.

Thanks all. This sort of stuff has certainly given me a new interest in photography.
