Blue Eyed Lady

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted September 20, 2014126 views4 comments
A friend had called me over to check a caterpillar which was eating up their oleander plant. The plant itself was about 7 feet tall or more. I just got about 10 frames due to inaccessibility.

7D, 70-200, 400 iso, 1/50 @ f8

Thanks NPN for your support

Good closeup portrait, Balan, if a little shallow. Given the light, perhaps as much as ISO 640 could have squeezed a little more depth without too much more noise? :confused:

Good up close and personal image of the CP, Balan. I like the curled position, but it sort of hides the head, so that cuts both ways.

I agree with the points Phil & Scott have raised Balan.
I do like the black BG, nice job under the circumstances :wavey:

Striking close-up, Balan, with some fine detail. Only wonder if the highlights might come down a touch, but you can sense the textures of the creature beautifully.
