Awesome shots! At first, I wondered what colors this cool creature could have but then, I realized that I actually saw the same (or very similar) species in Costa Rica so I know haha :)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it ๐Ÿ˜.
Wow, that caterpillar is amazing ๐Ÿ˜, what beautiful colors ๐Ÿ˜ƒ, but although it looks a little my caterpillar, the one I found is white, look:

That's why I thought about posting it in black and white hehehe.

Wow! Thatยดs interesting. But now I understand. I usually put my pictures into monochrome only when they are grey or dull. I donยดt like when people use monochrome for vibrant colorful photos :)

Hahaha, that's right ๐Ÿคญ, well, not always dull or grey, because this caterpillar isn't, but nostalgic, sad and introspective photos yes, you know, there are really good photographers who are masters of black and white and even the colored images look great on their hands but I'm just a begginer and I think that colors are so beautiful that deserve to be shown as they are ๐ŸŒˆ. Do you know which photos I really like into black and white format? Portraits, when they are taken by good photographers of course hahaha ๐Ÿ˜‰, like @jlinaresp ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป, he's truly a master of monochrome ๐Ÿ˜‰.
This caterpillar looks good this way because it's already black and white ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ

Yeah, many people think that putting any picture into monochrome immediately makes it a piece of art but it doesnยดt work like this. Making impressive b&w photos takes talent, just like any other photography category. And yes, @jlinaresp is a master of this category ;) I agree that in most cases though, colors naturally occurring in nature should be shown in their full splendor.

"A master of monochrome"... Awwwww, @gatubela and @phortun friends... You make me blush! hahaha :))... But thank you very much for this kind comment and mention!!!!... But yes, I like the most to take my photos in B&W, I find that they tend to transmit a โ€˜more psychologicalโ€™ message... I've had to live in a decaying small town, so that influences a lot my choices when it comes to processing... Regarding B&W editing, there is a lot of advice everywhere, but may be the best thing to do is to take the photos until you โ€˜feel that everything is right in itโ€™... Some photos need more light, others less, the same goes for contrast, vignettes and all the things that are used for B&W.... Curiously, I find it much more difficult to edit for B&W than for colour... But I don't know, maybe it's just โ€˜my own tricksโ€™... hehehe :)).... Thanks again for this good time dear friends!!!... ;)

You absolutely deserve this mention @jlinaresp, you are the best black and white photographer here in Hive ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ“ธ, and my favorite ๐Ÿ˜. I think that more than all those technical specifications, and "your tricks" hahaha, what counts is having that introspective vision that makes you see and capture the essence of each naked image, when the colors lose all their influence on the subject, the landscape or whatever is in front of you at that moment. Ensure that when others see the photo, they aren't interested in knowing what colors were present there because the photo speaks to them from a different perspective than color. That's art ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป and you make art ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป.
You're welcome ๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿค—

Absolutely, it doesn't work like that, I wish it were that easy hahaha ๐Ÿฅด. A lot of talent and a special vision to see the things around us in a more introspective way ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ–ค.
I love colors, specially nature's colors ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฆš๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿฆœ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿฆ‹.
