holy F*** that thing is awesome, and I mean biblical awesome not your common awesome, I think the shell back you have on that abdomen is freak'in perfect, and what's the hackle you used for legs, it looks like mallard flank but with dark tips, or like turkey or something....pheasant? can we get a top down view? no fish is going to be the wiser with this little meal! really am looking forward to seeing more works from you DHise, thanks so much for sharing.
