Ron,

Is this a big crop? I'd expect a lot more detail especially at a lower ISO. It would be helpful if you got in the habit of providing % of original image which I have found is a helpful exercise to myself and others.

I also really like that you caught it with a bug in the mouth - I'd be happy to witness that.

Either there is something wrong with my monitor, but the larger image seems to be falling apart? I do like the smaller image as posted. The bug is a plus. Nice one.

Nice job getting him with a snack in a nice setting. I'm guessing this is a large crop?
