A great looking portait of this green guy. You can see the detailed texture and all the little variations in the color of his skin. Great crop too.

Thanks so much, everyone. Really appreciate your kind comments. Very glad you like the shot. I honestly didn't think it'd do this well in a FS. It's a wonerful pleasant surprise. None of the details in the shot where blurred (except selective noise removal in the sky), I did crop the sides and had two b/w conversions to choose from, one which had a lighter sky color, but playing with the channels I do like how the darker sky came out in this one but the feather detail was better in the color version. Also, updated the exif.

An amazing effort. Very well executed. Congrats on the top10!
It surely must be a very nice talking point with new visitors.

The idea to put in just one white one, that's really genius. A really nice twist on the paper curl :)

The most versatile tree I've yet to see. The geometry of it is very appealing. Are you going to go and shoot this tree for Winter?

The tree is high fiving the hawk. I too like that you've caught the hawk in flight.
