Nice composition and colour Stan with plenty of detail and DOF, well spotted or should that be striped

Excellent; great framing and great detail... just a slight, small, shame that the yellow flower in front is a little soft, and it doesn't look like you can sharpen it up... but that's only an insignificant niggle, and doesn't spoil a great shot.

shows how narrow the dof is with using a macro lens. the focus point was on the head of the caterpillar so was probably quite lucky to get the whole of the body sharp and some of the flowers. What is a bit odd though is that although the yellow flower is soft, both those to the left are sharp even though one looks like it is in front of the yellow one and the other behind

Excellent, we normally have thousands of them, but none so far.
