    Quite an engaging image you made David. Almost like the subject is upon a dirty cloud - sort of ethereal with the 'waves' of sand.

    Great angle of viewing and eye contact on the subject. Just enough of both feet to satisfy the mind.

    Your composition compliments the diagonal worm very nicely. Is it wrong for one to want to see the wormhole haha?

    Wonder if a touch of pop to the blue at the top would enhance viewing, even as sweet as this already is....

    A gem sir, nicely seen!

    Beautiful engagement with the worm not giving up easily. Sand almost looks like snow, very interesting. The diagonal of the worm works nicely and the bird is well processed. TFS

    Great job with that worm man, just perfect, and to add interest it is attached to a bonus plover pulling hard on it. Cool stuff. The raised foot adds a lot IMO. Tough to improve on this frame, all looks good to me.

    Killer, killer, killer! That's why it has already been on my blog. I know a winner when I see one! If anything, you might want to soften the lightest worm hole on the right frame edge.
