Interesting shot Maggie, but there are some strange lines appearing on the RHS and what looks to be incomplete cloning on the bottom RH leaves....

You are right Graham. A rather sloppy cloning job :redface:

It's a real shame about the cloning here Maggie as with your lizard image.. Sometimes I think it is best to leave 'as is' and let the subject speak for itself.. In this case is captured very well.

Hello Maggie.

Nits covered but I love the angle you have shot this from. Its never easy to get a good shot of a caterpillars face, and you have done a good job here.

Great little beastie, Maggie.

The POV is spot on for what you were trying to achieve, slight nit covered.
