Macro Photo Competition 2014 No 1 : Entry Number 74

A beautiful capture of this caterpillar, the colors are beautiful, the focus is where it is necessary, the composition is really good. Just a very beautiful picture!

I am so happy to receive the mark of excellence as well. My name is Raed Ammari and I live in Denver/CO. Colorado is too cold and dry to have a variety of insects you find in more humid areas, So I like to take my macro gear with me when I travel. This photo was taken in San francisco/ California. Background composed of shiny blue decorative stones I found in my parent's backyard to mimic the sky. Thank you again. By the way, Ondrej's photos have been an inspiration for me since I started macro photography and I'm honored to compete against him.
