The Hungry Worm

[Kazooie]

Now that I see it on the big screen, I wish I used a smaller (?) aperature to get it a little more in-focus. Thoughts?

Caterpillar. The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar. Worms don't turn into butterflies!

Several issues here:

1. It looks like a panorama yet only half of the caterpillar is in shot and the other half of the frame is empty.
2. It looks very dark. Either flash/wider aperture of slower shutter speed would have helped you expose the shot properly.
3. The white balance is wrong. It's radioactive yellow - which would have been corrected if you'd changed the white balance to tungsten.

Try this shot again but get the whole caterpillar in shot preferably with a more interesting composition and a better background. Why not place him on some grass or on the branch of a tree?

Thanks for the comments, I like this one except for the little bit of motion blur. And the background.

Actually i find first one better than the second; in the second the back ground is disturbing the image due to its sharp features.... to some extent, the yellow color makes the image cool in the former

You need to change that background. With a kitchen in the background it looks like a nothing shot. You could actually create a cool little scene if you find an appropriate background.

...i like the face in the second though...funny

Thanks everyone! I really want to go out and take some with a nice green background, but there's still a good 2.5 feet of snow on the ground. <_<

Great! A nice white background to make the colours of the toy stand out!
