great one, this picture has fantastic depth

Good image choice, nice crop! Background might be just a tad lighter...
PS: Author, it's a caterpillar, not a grub, and if you don't mind, could you PM me and tell me what it's feeding on, if you know? I don't think I've ever seen that plant, and I'm sort of an amateur plant/insect freak.

A great image to work with.. very nicely done

this is pretty, i like the photo choice and the detail in the grub is lovely. goodluck author.

Mmmm. Tastey protein.

Looks really good, great job!

Thanks everyone, CMYK I don't know what it was feeding on, the plant looked like a weed to me and yes, it's a caterpillar from a Monarch butterfly

EDIT: I just found this for you CMYK, it's commonly called a swan bush or balloon cotton bush or a heap of other things.

Thanks everyone

That's a really big worm....Nice depiction!

Author, this is a really fun image, but there should be grass blades around the hole in the foreground. Going by the relative size of the dandelion, the grub looks to be about 2 feet wide, and the perspective would make the bird to be...oh, maybe 12 feet tall.

I wanted to create a huge worm and a huge bird just to give the pic a different (huge) feel. And I did put grass in front of the hole I need to upload hi-res pic.

Interesting

Very nice!

very funny image author.. seriously good luck.. very well done

It's cute, but in High Res everything looks blurry.

cute

The perspective is really off unless these are giants.
