Mike, an outstanding look at this Saddleback.  They're pretty amazing to look at and you've really set if off well with your lighting and the black background.  You've also got excellent details in the cat and the leaf.

Mike ..thats some beautiful work from you of the saddleback. The light and colour combination is wonderful, along with the black bg. Have the feeling that it may slip off the end of the leaf..very well done

What a cool looking caterpilar, Mike.  Looks like it's wearing one of those coats they make for dogs.  Nice compositoin, and I think the vertical presentation works very well here.
