Interesting perspective, however I find the image feels a bit too dark. Would like tho see the colors pumped up. Love the gradual blurring of the handles. Jacko. 7

no offence, but maybe a difference choice of colour for the background, and buffing up the contrast and sharpness will bring more out from this one.

I have those glasses. i like the image...simple. I might have shifted the hue closer to the actual lens color, since the lenses appear a bit greener than the backdrop blue...I like the monotone idea though.

Greetings fromt the Critique Club
Hi Brian!

Composition
Excellent - but what if you went wider and got more of the flower? I like your use of thirds here.

Color
I think the detail in the colors of the caterpillar here are amazing - I don't like the blur on the flower. I wish I could see those colors be richer.

Focus
Good shallow DoF, but you got the edge of the flower - I like it behind, but not in front. Nice highlighting the fauna though.

Lighting
He wasn't gonna wait for sunset, probably. :) I like this shot at this time. The lighting brings out his own colors, which are the highlight of this shot.

Overall
A 7 score is a fabulous vindication of when you've done something right - and you have. Congrats and happy shooting!
