Comment by Paul:
Wow, excellent choice of colour for your second tone. Great clarity. I'm not sure whether it is a consequence of post-processing or just some lighter background blur but the lighter areas under the leaves look a little halo-ish - I think I might have been tempted to blend that area into the background a little more (though as the the photographer if I knew it was something in the background I'd probably leave it).

This is pure deliciousness. I usually don't like over saturation in a duotone but man - this is almost something I can taste and smell. Nice. Bumping up.

Nice and sharp face and head, I think the arm is a bit distracting.

Congratulations on your new star. This is very creative, and I couldn't figure out how it was done. Thanks for sharing your technique.

I really like your photo, but I have some questions...1 is it color (thus, I think you shot in duotone) or did you change this to B&W then add all the green? I really, really like this picture, the dew drops, the clarity of your shot...excellent
