Nature's Artistic Gymnast...the itchy ones though

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Caterpillar(exact id help appreciated)

Spotted several of them hanging all through out the pathway to Pariskshit Point. The way they twisted and moved around just on, probably, a single thread of its silk was really amazing, with this frame I tried to capture that flexibility of the beauty

Forgotten the few caterpillar ID's I used to know. All I know now is that this is a moth caterpillar. :P
Nicely done. I like how the strand is mildly lit by the flash. Would have tried f16 or so for more DoF. You do not need to set the ISO so high when using flash.

Nice. The vertical composition looks nice. Had seen couple of these hanging from the trees in Airoli (while shooting for the film). Thanks for sharing.

Abhishek, I actually intended to capture the background also, unfortunately to get some clarity in the noise entered in, so edited the photo to avoid the graining and eventually ended with dark background
