These are, by far, the best shots I've seen in this forum, so far.

Really outstanding work. And a very interesting subject. I didn't know there were any caterpillars that have tails.

Absolutely amazing Phil. The first thing that came into my mind when I saw the first shot was the shape of a dog. Can't wait to see what the moth looks like.

I have never seen anything like that. All are fantastic, but the last one grabbed me… the light is different, and the position of it's head reminded me of a Shar Pei dog. Thanks for sharing! MM

Wow, perfect lighting and composition, great color and detail as well. A great tail made your shot perfect.

WOW, Phil, excellent pictures!! I certainly have some learning to do, but with inspiration like this, it should be easier.

Can I ask what your set up and equipment is for these pictures?

Thanks, Ron

Incredible set Phil. Gorgeous colors and marking wonderfully captured. BTW does he fetch and sit up and beg?

GOLDENORFE · September 7, 2008
