Overcast conditions have helped here, and I like the look back pose.

Ken, that snazzy sliver of grass in his mouth makes this for me. Nice, in the environment pose too.

Great DOF Ken, Subject sharp from back to front.

Good eye contact as well.

Did you try a vertical crop, losing the RHS ?

Thanks for your comments, I must confess to liking the grass in the mouth. This is the only one of these I have ever seen, I got 2 shots before he ran off. I will try a vertical.

A new species for me. The grass in the mouth is good. I wish you had better light for a narrow aperture. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
