Caterpillar 001

Thanks for looking

Ken great choice of subject. Phenomenal contrasts of colors. I like it very much.

Let me know, if you can, what camera and lenses you are using. Thanks and good luck.

amazing. it's like a claymation figure. great job. mary

Thanks Mary and Charles for your wonderful comments. Charles the camera is an EOS 400D EF 100/2.8 macro + MR14EX + 580EX flashes and extra lighting. Shot outside on a tripod with an adjustable cross slide head and a 2X eye piece so I can adjust the camera distance for a precision focus on very small objects. The image has not been cropped and apart from some levels adjustment this is how it was shot ISO 200 f32. Happy shooting regards Ken

Beautiful capture, contrast, composition, color and subject. Thanks for show us nature so near. Regards.

Amazing colours there Ken. Composition and lighting are spot on. Well done again.

A compliment from me on this photo might not be worth much, as I don't know Thing One about close-up shots of such critters -- but this shot really caught my eye. The colors, the caught-in-mid-stride look -- just perfect. Congratulations.
