- Cool caterpillar! Unfortunately this image probably wouldn't make it because of the distracting "blown" hightlights in the background. (try looking at some of the image problem examples on "What is a featured picture"). --Pharaoh Hound 11:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Heh, that's concrete, it would be hard to make that less bright at 3pm in Texas :) --Kugamazog 13:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Pharaoh Hound. The subject is splendid. It is a pity, though, about the background. Another leaf, or other vegetation, or (best) shadowed vegetation would have made the subject stand out. I like the pose. Depth of field is good; the subject is very sharp from end to end.
