    Cropped, contrast, cloned out some spectral highlights here and there, blurred the BG, smart and high-pass sharpening.

    Many caterpillars have developed false eyes as a deterrent to predators. When a bird or other predator comes upon something like this, they many think they're looking at a snake or something else that might fight back. This was shot last summer.

    Cool image Ken, sharp with a good exp., a lot of fine detail on the leaf and the hairs of the cat. Incredible is the transformation that takes place from this to flying adult.

    I think you nailed this one, Ken. I can't think of a thing to change about it. You did a great job of controlling the flash.

    Hi Ken,
    I think you nailed it too. Primary focus is where it should be...great use of flash as well. I like the placement of the caterpillar in the frame and the leaf detail as well.
