Comment by BobbyLilly:
Don't know why you call it a "grin" in your title since you look so serious ;-), but the intensity of the color in your shirt contrasting with the more muted earth tones of the plants and ground and the way the plant wraps around you framing your body anf head drew me to the photo and, so far at least, I like this best. Also appreciate the shifting light with the dark shadows behind you. A very human and balanced picture that feels uncontrived.

Great color and contrast. Maybe should have cropped out about 1 inch off of the right side.
