I thought the two eyes were in the same plane (normal to my lens),

but seeing the result I suppose that was not the case. Is that nose-

like enough to make you make some associations?

Fascinating... odd... made me look at your explanation. Good image. Not the typical macro stuff.

I should clarify that these marking aren't really eyes (or at least I don't think so!). The full frame is attached, it is really the side of this tomato-plant eating thing.

You have exceeded the supposed macro performance of the G3! The caterpillar markings are very captivating and it actually is the 'unusual' spacing between the 'eyes' that made me stop and look longer than is usally the case...

Very much appreciate you sharing this image with us.

The macro technique is that described in Mark Plonsky's tutorial on the subject. It is cheap too if you happen to have a 50 mm normal lens lying around.

Great shot indeed. And a good original crop of the subjest - it certainly looks like eyes! Kudos!

Love it. Reminds me of those "what is it" puzzles in kids books. BTW- those "eye's" aer supposed to look like eyes. To scare off predators. (For those who didn't know that :)
