Finding Earthworms in soft soil

Although this has a little hint of over-sharpening in the bird, it's very nicely composed with pleasing DoF. Link to the challenge perhaps a little tenuous!

Sorry I'm only getting to commenting on this now. I have wanted to write for a few days already. As herfotoman said - bloody marvelous! Hunter and hunted in focus on a shallow DOF plane is never easy let alone for a BIF shot. Its hard enough with any wildlife but I can appreciate the technical difficulties here - well done on a super image!
I also like the slight blur in the wings to show the speed at which the action is happening at. Freezing the scene totally wouldnt have the same effect of speed even if you couldnt increase the shutter speed due to ISO / Aperture limitations - I think you did very well!

Harvey this is over the top. Did not get to it in voting, but can't understand it being 15'th. The skill, the opportunity created and the result. And I'm not talking about the owl.. Hehe. Bloody marvelous.
