who would have thought a caterpillar looked like that!! I had to look a way through your folder to find something which was not digital art. I do not use it and it is therefore not for me to judge it but Photos I will judge for interest matter etc. and I love nature.

I don't know if this shot won the contest, but it looks like the winner to me! Sony cameras do amazing close-up images like a macro shot, perfect details and sharpness! Great composition and presentation! Excellent everything!

Comment from Tootie H2O
Absolutely Amazing! I am completely amazed and in awe of the clear detail. He is really beautiful. I like your centering him bottom and side and the background allows a op of the color. Well done!

Cleo,
A beautiful & interesting shot of the very hairy caterpillar of the Variegated Fritillary ~ Euptoiea claudia on a green leaf it's colour & spiky hairs a warning to it's potential attackers that it's wiser to leave it alone. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting take with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

You certainly have made this little guy look very big :) He is a very interesting looking insect with his colors and spots and all those spikes of hair.

A very fine image. It is remarkably sharp considering the degree of magnification. The colors are great and the composition is great. Best of luck in the contest.
