I adore the 2nd- 4th photos... Great composition, and the colours are especially rich and beautiful

First one, very nice.

Beautiful images, Walad,
The caterpillar is a rather lesser good looking fella. Shure not many predators are interested in it.

O4 Plain Nawab gets my vote - like the way the background enhances the image.
