[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On my morning excursion with my dog Tucker, we found this little caterpillar on a rusted fence. I was amazed by all of the little dew drops on his hair. Hopefully this little fellow will hang around and become a beautiful butterfly.

Middle English catirpel, catirpeller, probably alteration of Old North French *catepelose : cate, cat (from Latin cattus) + pelose, hairy

Great Capture Steve! This little guy must have just gotten out of the bath as you came upon him. I think you have really captured something here that most of us will not see for ourselves. Good job!

Well done Stephen and well seen. I like the colours of the catapillar and the water droplets, well, they speek for them selves. I like the diagonal as well and the rusty wire. Great job.

Stunning detail with all those fine water droplets on the caterpillar's hairs. And a surprise find and good contrast on the rusty fence. Amazing colors, and your usual expert post-work. Well done, Stephen.

Hi Steve, a colorful guy. And a nice capture.

This is very very good. The dOF is great and the clarity of the main subject is amazing. The droplets really make this shot. Very well-seen! Thanks.

Very well captured and composed Stephen. Could be a little sharper on the subject. Still... a wonderful picture and lot of colours and detail. Very good.

Amazing color and detail stephen,fascinating shot.

Maybe missing a liiiiitle more sharpness on the body of the caterpillar, because the blue/orange pattern looks marvellous too. But then you may have lost the focus on the droplets which are really stunning.
Mmmm... Such a dilemma, but a wonderful cature indeed Stephen, well observed!

This is a real jewel, Stephen! I have missed it! Great composition, colours and sharpness, as well as DOF. Fantastic capture!

This is good work. Sharpness, colours, clarity, everything is wonderful. Great composition with only part of the caterpillar visible. The morning dew is an added bonus. Very well seen, and taken.

very very beautiful...excellant..

This has stunning colors! The caterpillar looks like it is wearing turquoise jewelry!! It must have gotten dressed up for the photo, lol. The water drops are incredible, and add a sparkle to the overall photo. TFS,
Fran
