How much did you have to pay the model to pose with the acorn like that?   

Another nice one.

Nice photo.  The background is so uniformly blurred that I found myself wondering if it was a natural blur or from Photoshop?

You're a master at your craft - keep 'em coming! 

Thanks for sharing.

I find acorn woodpeckers fascinating because they'll work in collectives to create nut stores (basically a tree with a lot of holes pecked in it to store acorns), and while the group share the acorns among themselves, they'll defend the tree against others.

Nice shot, BTW!

Very very nice shot… As Jeremy said above: keep 'em coming!

Quite a portrait with high cuteness factor.
A pleasure seeing this image.
