A storm was blowing in, so you can imagine how this ~1.5" fellow was swaying.  Still, when I saw that he was on the grass heads against a clean background, I had to give it a go.  I'm glad I didn't have to pay for film developing!

Comments and suggestions always welcome.
Edit: Does anyone know how to format posts so that when I hit "enter" I don't get a space between lines, as if I were starting a new paragraph?

Lovely photograph - the grass is an airy, delicate perch.
