Sphinx head ... dead ... sent on October 28, 2013 (10:42) by LaSpinaPhoto. 11 comments, 1588 views.

, 1/4 f/16.0, ISO 200, tripod. Specie: Acherontia atropos

La raccolta delle olive ogni anno è una gran fatica....quest'anno però mi ha dato la possibilità di incotrare questo meraviglioso bruco.....enorme, in tutta la sua bellezza era preso a cibarsi delle foglie d'ulivo....quando poi mi sono avvicinato per fare qualche scatto ha iniziato a fare schioccare le mandibole come avvertimento....sarà stato parecchio timido e non amante della fotografia :-) !!!

Very good image even if I find the picture a bit 'tight. I think a little 'more' of air around the caterpillar would make an image more 'pleasant, but obviously it comes to personal taste.
Details and very beautiful colors. Even the light and 'managed very well.

A touch of color: I am struck by the shape and pose curious dell'aculeo of this beautiful caterpillar. Put that way it looks like a tail of a canine ... : DE-'likeable.

All the best,
Massimo.

Thanks Massimo's comment! I took several photos with some other larger compositions like this a little more narrow .... the case given that the caterpillar turned to me and was like I was an odd with their mandibles, I preferred to tighten the composition more! I'll try to post the next time one of the shots with compositions more airy! :-D

Thanks Glaca27!

Nice picture, I like the pose of the caterpillar, although I would have left a little more space around the subject ;-)

Hello Tony well found.
Congratulations on the discovery of this beautiful caterpillar. The detail that scatturisce seem valid even if the dimensions are a bit 'piccine, but I know you do not love big size for about the usual opportunists. :-D
Even these soft colors are a personal prerogative, but in my case with levels using the cursor would give a small movement of blacks to the color reviving it, but as I said these are personal tastes.
See you soon ...... but not in six months. :-D:-P
