    Very nice capture, Horacio. The caterpillar is very sharp. Love the color and the perch looks great. The background it ok but I do find all those white highlight to be a bit distracting. Still, a very nice image.

    Beautiful caterpillar......and pretty cool how he's devoured most of the leaf. Nice detail....down the to fine hairs and good color. I tend to agree with Ed about the BG.....something that I'm learning about even more in macro. Well done.

    Cute caterpillar! I guess this is about as close as you can get to an "action" shot for this type of insect, eh? Love your composition and you got great detail in the insect. I think you could enhance the photo more by either taking the BG all the way to black or cloning the spots throughout and then lightening/blurring them a bit. I think it's not so much the white spots that are distracting as it is seeing them against the dark black areas. One background or the other might solve that problem!
