A Head-on View… I think! This caterpillar was not moving too quickly giving me a chance to use the in-camera focus stacking.<br />

  1. Great shot. It has detail, color and a S-curve as well. I like the blue color on the right side. Posted 3 years ago
    1. Thanks William. The blue on the right side… is a blue tray were we put treats for our friends, the crows. The caterpillar was there all day and was carefully avoided by the crows as they “picked up” their treats. Fun to watch. Posted 3 years ago
