Good shot and expression. Nice detail too.

Excellent exposure! These little guys move so fast and you didn't have what looks like very much light, so congrats. This is a fun shot and the dance of greenery in the background is awesome.

"Is that a nut?"
"Yes, this is a nut. If you would leave me alone for a few minutes I could actually eat it."

Just found this whimsical. Nice capture.
