This catepillar was so testy (this was the shot with the least amount of movement). I should have increased my ISO to get a larger DOF and faster capture of the 'piller, but I wanted the crispness of ISO100. Oh well. Hopefully this is construed as an opposite, rather than an ironic or symbiotic, scene. Kit lens at 55mm, slight cropping for composition.

Grissom, is that you? I like the idea, I'd prefer the worm to show up a bit more on the background, maybe even change the color of the background. Nicely focused on the part that's important. 9
Nice macro, a little more DOF would have brought the catipllar in complete focue which I think would have made it look better. Part of the object is OOF as well.
Nice colors, composition and concept, but if you are going to go for a studio still life (sort of still anyway) and you don't nail the focus across a solid DOF it will cost you points. Other than the focus and the extranious gold triangle leading the eye off the lower right corner, a very nice shot.
A lighter background would have helped a lot with the caterpillar, although bugs on circuit boards are often hard to locate. the colors are a little garish for my taste.
