i really like all of the different textures in this shot. Then the white caterpiller just jumps out of the shot. Nice

How are you processing these? They all seem very "solid." Are you doing anything special?

@Twelvebit: Not really, it's a good old, simple point and shoot, of course with right focus and correct lighting.

Ha ha, thats one hairy caterpillar, telling everything that meets him that he doesn't want to be eaten no doubt. Cool find. I wonder what it will look like later in life (as a moth? or butterfly?)
