I started with this more distant view, but the closer view does a better job of showing the face. Notice how the background is somewhat distracting in this image? I had to use a small aperture to try and get the caterpillar in focus, and by doing that, I also kept details from the grasses in the background. But (as above) when I moved in and focused more closely, the background got smooth and out of focus.

The close up is great, but in this one I actually like the "distracting" background.
Wonderful pictures!
Thank you very much. The background isn't too bad in this shot since the colors all seem to fit, but there times that this much "depth" in the focus would be a big problem--like if one big branch cut right through the middle. Here, I guess it's more a matter of preference. I think this shot turned out pretty well, and it does make a nice comparison with the other caterpillar.
