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

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?

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!

Mike.

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