Caterpillar was shot indoors with natural light and a bit of bounced fill, background was wrapping from some copy paper ;)

I think the depth of field is tool shallow in the first, but I love the 2nd.

Yep, very different and well executed. Be interested in seeing that with a red background as well, might complement the green?

No 2 is a superb shot, colour, composition, light and subject all work for me! :thumbs:
