Jon,

Really nice photo of the caterpillar. The entire length of the caterpillar is parallel to the sensor plane. Nice job.

A matter of personal preference and maybe a principle, but I would be tempted to remove the twig on the left. Not sure if a thumbnail would do it, or if the motion would have disturbed the subject, but, for me, the image would take a positive step forward without the distracting effect of the foliage on the left.

Nicely done that f16 helps a lot

Gorgeous subject and detail. I'd burn down the bright areas along the left border.
