A beautiful specimen Vikram. F32 has covered the whole image very well. Light must have been nice as you got 1/100 at ISO 200 at F32. I like the compsition. The dark background accentuates the subject. I might prefer opening the subject a bit more as the image feels dark.

Vikram,
This gives a feeling of glowing in the dark. I agree with the composition. There are lot of details in this image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice details. The blue lining makes it stand out. The dark BG helps to focus on the caterpillar. Look forward to more..

Hi Vikram,

I have never seen such a colourful caterpillar. The dark background is really accentuating the colours. Amazing details on the caterpillar

Thanks all of you for your comments.
This is actually a very common caterpillar. I think it is one of the few which actually cause skin irritation if brushed the wrong way. But I am not sure about this . Never tried it

@Bibhav - This was shot at around 6pm. So I must have flashed it. I liked it a little dark. Tried increasing a bit of brightness but the florescent green just jumps out of the image and the blue stripe looses prominence .

This is looking something like a space ship in a holywood movie.
Great colorful shot Vikram.
