Greetings from the Critique Club
My first impression overall is that this is a very good photo.
I like that the caterpillar and branch are in focus in the foreground, but are out of focus in the background. This really suits a caterpillar since they move very slowly and are only focused on the present, and not the future. I like that the background is simplified due to the depth of field. I have no problems with the second caterpillar in the background as it is a nice secondary surprise.
Compositionally, I like the negative space you left around the caterpillar. I also like that you didn't paint the first stripe red, as that would have been too set up. The one thing that I feel could be improved in this photograph is the saturation of the background. Right now I feel there is a bit of a battle between the colorful caterpillar, and the colorful background. I have no problem with the background being tinted a certain color, I just think there is too much saturation. If the background were closer to black & white, with a hint of color, I think the caterpillar would stand out a lot more.
Overall I think this is a wonderful image. Keep up the good work.
If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me. |

| I like the concept. The caterpillar is nice. I wish the background and twig were a bit clearer and in a different hue. |
