Thank you, Sandra 🙂 For such a small critter it holds a lot of fine detail, and like you say the eyes.

You are skilled at working quickly! I’m too slow and clumsy to catch anything smaller than a turkey.

You and your turkeys, lol! 🙂 It comes with practice, like most things. Sometimes you have to be quick, or the moment is gone, and sometimes you have to be patient for the moment to unfold 🙂
