Crusty, this is a super image. The subject matter is a winner alone but your use of depth of field really makes this shot. What kind of lens are you using? The lack of aberration around the fluff turns me green.

Thanks for your comments Wirefox and Roxy.
The lens is a Sigma 150-500 which seems to have welded itself to my camera body since I purchased it, I now have 22" biceps too.

Hi Crusty,
Very nice composition.
Have you cropped the shot or shot in higher ISO? I feel the image a bit noisy, what do you think.

Hi Ajith, yes the ISO was around 1000, I also had the WB set at 7600K and NR switched off,cropped by around a third, the light was dropping fast and these little fella's were in the shade, totally selfish,always thinking of themselves, they never put us photographers first .
