Nice picture, though the catepillar's a little scary. I think it would've looked nicer if the branch and catepillar were more in focus though. Creative.
Weird pic. I keep thinking I can see where the DOF is, but it's soft in weird places to my eyes. Great choice of subject and background. It always helps to have a green caterpillar walking on a red branch eating green leaves.
Too bad about the plastic bag (?) in the bottom of the pic. Not a 10, but it's quite good.
The close macro shot is too much an insect shot and relegates the branch to the backseat missing the brief. Pulling out to relax the viewevers attention away from the caterpillar and let it camoflague itself would have fitted the challenge by bringing the branch back to centre stage and made this idea a lot stronger.
