Hi there from the Critique Club

Negative images are inherently difficult to produce in a way that allows the viewer to enjoy them. This capture is no exception. The biggest reason why this one didn't score higher was that the caterpillar really wasn't isolated from the background to provide a strong subject. It just blends into the tree that its on. I also think that your focus is off a bit. It looks like your camera focused on the tree knot rather than the creature. I do like your composition, and the orange from the blue sky on the right really works well to balance the photograph. Not bad as far as meeting the challenge goes, but you picked a category that was sure to be difficult from the onset. Choosing a more distinct subject and correcting the focus would have gotten this one another point, I believe.

It took turning this to a positive to see what was being referred to as "alien".

What is this? Description said image must look good as a negative. I cannot make out what this is.

The object of this photo is not really pronounced enough

Is that an insect? Might have worked better if you moved it to a more contrasty surface.

This picture does not have a real focal point. I know that it is a caterpiller ... but it is lost in the expanse of the picture.
