(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - Generally very busy for a photo. The title does make me look for the various elements. But I have too much to look for, no one subject to grab me. Your key elements are very spread out.
(2) BACKGROUND � The wall in the back is a good choice. Good color, with no structure to it.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL � The lighting is too uneven - a little too bright from the right side. The rest of it seems ok. A good choice of aperture, so DOF is good. Looks in focus to me. The cocoon is soft, so might appear out of focus to some.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL � no recommended changes
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO � I think you picked too hard a song title to produce a great picture. You have all the elements present, so technically you have it � it just becomes very busy to look at. You got the �circle of life� here, but its hard to see it.

There seems to be a bit of noise in this picture. Using a program like neat image would really help out. Also, I think the application of an unsharp mask on this image would really improve it. jgillard6

there is way too much going on in this photo and the hue in this picture is not the greatest

Comment by Swashbuckler:
I really don't see this as a song title, but my lack on knowledge shouldn't hurt your photo, so I'm going to take your word for it, but doesn't it seem like a long title? Took a long time to find the catapiller, hidden in the greens. (Joke - even faked the caccoon? sorry, couldn't resist) Photo quality overall is fairly good. Glare on the catapiller probably not so good of a thing. Caccoon seems least real of all and easily missed. Background - not bad, it doesn't take away from the picture, but adds to the sterility of the shot (fake look). Even the butterfly looks a bit fake.
(I'm really sorry, but I'm trying to be as honest and kind as possible.) 6 Swash

great idea but the viewer has to work hard to find the subjects.

Two comments: 1) The pic seems a tad out of focus, 2) I don't see a focal point. My eye is attracted to the butterfly, but its location isn't the best.

not the best light, just a little harsh to the right side.
