Hello Peter,

Wonderful capture with apt title. Details of the fluffy hair stands so clear with blurred BG. Colors and composition are too good.
Thanks a lot for sharing.

Witaj Peter,
POV, composition and details look very nice.
Podoba mi się nie tylko kompozycja ale też naturalne kolory i szczegóły . Żuczek jest włochaty a jednak nie zgubiłeś ostrości.
Bravo
