Lilliputian Life

The image highlights the finer details of the world around us, where a caterpillar is seen navigating the foliage in the photographer’s garden. With a manual lens, Swastika managed to create a dramatic rendering of the caterpillar's hair. The backlight was definitely a benefactor.
