Excellent, Scott. Very strong compositional lines and the grub adds a lot.

Exceptional detail, I especially like the dirt on the end of his beak.

This would have been a very cool portrait even without the bug, but capturing this moment makes it even better.

Very nice portrait and of course, the bug makes it an even stronger image! Sharon
