    No question in my mind. This is a GBH.

    This is a good shot. You have the poor GBH surrounded my man's intrusion into his space.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Definitely looks like a lonely GBH to me. Nice. It's rather sad as well... I mean, it invokes sad feelings...

    Nice capture Ric.

    At least he is save there for cats and humans but not for your lens.

    The angle of the shot looks like he's in isolation, but, in reality he hed plenty of buddies to go fishing with. :D
