Great job of blending and colour match -- folds in the skin blend seamlessly

Love this...great blend, color & composition!

This is genius!

Wonder what the butterfly from this will look like?????? Love it! GL

Excellent idea!! Try to isolate desaturated caterpillar better (more precise) from colored environment, You can still see desaturated background around its body.
edit:

looks awesome

Fantastic job!
