I just thought this was an interesting creature and wanted to share the image. It was feeding on a vine along a river.

Great focus on the face...and right up to that first yellow marking.

I'd consider darkening that leaf bit in the lower left corner if possible.

A good shot of this great species. A couple bright OOF elements are a little distracting but not enough to ruin the shot.

Great find, fine face detail, neat pattern on the caterpillar. The light was not kind to you - but you could fix some of the brightest areas.

Hi

The critter is indeed a fine example of it kind and the image has good overall appeal - the area for improvement would be the lighting, probably via a flash option

All the best
Matthew
