Ahhhhhhhhh...it's the PINK. At first I thought it was the incredible level of detail that made this shot so great....but the more I studied, the more I realized that it is that startling pink in the background that does it! Perfect. ..Brad

Dan, I like this very much. I especially like the colors and the detail on the catapillar is great. Just the right amount of DOF. (I would have cropped the left side a bit...but that's just me.) Nice work!
Best regards,
Bill
