Flower & Worm

Flower & WormKeeping a sharp eye out while photographing nature can result in some extraordinary finds, that small extra something that makes an ordinary scene into an extraordinary image, the detail that acts as an epiphany around which a story realized.

This photographer had his eyes open when he came across this small caterpillar hidden within the flower.  This creature works with the flower to add another dimension of life to the subject.  The clear blue sky backdrop lets the whites and yellows of the flower jump off the page.

I would like to make a few suggestions concerning this photograph.  First the focus appears to be off as if the image was blowup too much on the computer perhaps due to cropping to tight from a larger scene.  One of the flower’s yellow anthers is cutting across the neck of the worm.  It would be nice if this could be avoided.  And the last item concerns the visible background between the peddles of the flower.  I would recommend selecting this area and cloning in the same blue as seen at the top of the flower.
