7 - One of the best 'username captures' in my opinion. Good catch/capture. No idea if the 'blur' is motion blur or 'pp'. Criticism; definitely wish this were 640. If this is 'real' and opportune, then difficult to suggest, but, a slightly different composition or crop, not sure, just to try to get 'the hopper' more dominant, instead of the leaves, would have likely made this even better in my opinion.
Interesting setup. Or is it real thing? I guess a leaf would be slightly out of focus then because of reactive force. The more I look at it, the more it looks unnatural. But photo is undoubtly eye cacthing...8
