Hello from the Critique Club!
My initial reaction is that this is an excellent capture. Let's delve a little deeper into why I think so.
The lighting is perfect, while this is using natural light and we don't have a whole lot of control over that, this was taken at a great time of day, because there are few shadows over the image - the lighting is nice and even, rather than distracting. This is a simple shot in essence and over-done light/shadow play would have detracted.
The focus as mentioned in some of the earlier comments is exceptional. I really enjoy seeing the grit and texture of the road, it gives the image a real punch. The perspective helps this along as well as bouying the infinite scope you were looking to achieve.
The composition is great. The long line of the road draws the eye into the infinite horizon, clearly meeting the challenge requirements. The starkness of the black/grey and white have a nice contrast with each other as well as the green bits of grass on the side. As an aside, I personally would rather the grass was cropped out, but I can't see a way to do that without compromising the photo.
All these aspects alone would make this a worthy infinite photo, but the addition of the catepillar really gives an added punch. There's a softness to it that contrasts nicely with the rough street and the animal/nature touch makes for its own contrast against the urban/machine aspect of the road. This all combines into a photo pleasing to the eye in general, but with some nice subtle gems to keep the mind working. Well done. |

| Congrats on the fine placement of this very original picture. It's way too cold down here to have any caterpillars left! Keep up the good work. |

| Very well done road shot. this one came out well, I like it. My only suggestion is if the wooly caterpillar was placed in the lower left hand third instead of close to center. Good shot. 9 |

| Works for me. I love that you were able to capture the concrete on the road. Incredible focus really gives you a sense of the texture of the road. The white line really helps to lead your eyes from right to the far left. Very effective shot. |

| This is really a neat idea. I would have focused tighter on the catepillaro r even focused up a bit to get more greenery. But, good job - 8 |
