This is a bit blurry for me, but it's a really cool idea.

Is that a statue? or facepaint? I think the shot is OK, but could be improved by changing the composition to bring emphasis to the person rather than to the post.

Good idea. Maybe Adam on the other side of the pole.

Somebody went to Orlando! ;-) I remember this stunning creature from my trip last year. Cool capture.

Without the face, this would be a 2, maybe. With the face, much better.

Nice camouflage. The post isn't particularly interesting, but it is necessary for the illusion.

Voted earlier coming back to comment. Why, hello there Devine! I have seen her at Animal Kingdom and the way that they move and blend in with the vegetation is INCREDIBLE! It is very mesmerizing to see and watch this 'lady of nature'. This is a good shot of Devine with some nice details but I think it could even better and move into the spectacular category if there was better balance in the contrasts of light and dark. Tough to do with portions of her in full sunlight and others in the shade. If you had the opportunity, you might have tried to use a lower ISO (for more detail, less noise) and higher aperature (F5.6 or higher) with a slower shutter speed. The best thing to do is to bracket - play with different apertures and shutters speeds and hope to hit on a few that have excellent depth of field, great detail, and excellent contrasts.

Wonderful "Where's Waldo" entry. I like all the green colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

something about the crop is throwing this off for me. It's an interesting idea. Trying to create mystery with the figure in the shadows. hmmmmm
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:07:45 PM
Interesting shot but I wish it wasn't so pixellated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 12:03:12 PM
real person? if so you should have had her wrap around a tree rather then a cememnt post. its quite distracting from the natural feel
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 11:59:45 AM
Is this in Disney World? My brother just got back from there and he had a picture of a woman dressed up like a tree/vines.

This looks a bit fuzzy and pixelated.

This is a nice idea but the focus for me is off
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:43:40 AM
interesting camoflauge , the pole is a big distraction though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:37:54 AM
Nice concept and well captured. Well composed and great focus on the [hidden] subject. High marks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 01:06:59 AM
A very creative shot, but the lighting just doesn't seem right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:22:54 PM
I'll bet this was taken at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN. I saw this performer (or one just like her) there a couple of months ago. Nice close-up.

Whatever that pipe thing is in the middle takes away from this image for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:11:16 PM
I'm glad I took the time to look - and find - the muse in the shadows.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:57:33 PM
fun but not so interesting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:07:17 AM
The overall quality seems poor; as if the original file was very small.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:18:39 AM
every time I see this, I find you again. you're freaking me out! 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:00:26 PM
The stump is so much brighter(and big too) than the rest of the shot that it takes the first stage in focal point, then you see something. It's a fun little surprise. Like finding a toy in a box of cracker jacks. (no vote)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:48:37 PM
interesting make up
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:11:09 PM
The colors are nice, but with the lighting on the front post, that becomes the focus of the picture. I would love to see this with a different angle.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:09:23 PM
That is a very scary face
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:08:13 PM
Very unique choice of shapes and colors, excellent detail! The face definitely adds a bit of mystery!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:02:52 AM
so interesting so much to search for and a lot stands out
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:57:04 AM
Oooo I saw her on TV. Isnt she at Disney somewhere? I wish there was more focus on her but love the greens.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool camoflage shot. What an intersting set up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:55:27 AM
This strikes me as being a little fruity.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:45:31 PM
just trying to decide if that is a real person or not...I think so....very green...not the most engaging photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:11:12 PM
I've seen this women at Animal Kingdom but didn't get a shot as good as this, well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:39:11 PM
Sorry, it just doesn't work for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:24:52 PM
Great job, a hidden gem in the forest. Her expression is great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:10:47 AM
First thought that comes to mind -- that is a weird place for a green woman to hide! I guess that is the point of the image? The "weirdness" of the situation. I hope I'm not missing the point. From a technical POV, the bottom front leaves are rather unsharp, and since they are quite prominent to the picture, they annoy somewhat. You get points for different thinking :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:06:13 PM
Didn't see the face at first, that surprised me! Cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:35:45 PM
Neat! Wonderfully surreal.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:03:29 PM
This post is really not interesting and it's too 'in my face' to ignore to see the face that's there. *sorry*

Looks like some lady I saw at the San Diego Zoo last summer! She had some very long legs. The pole is kind of distracting though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:09:56 PM
Weird is the first word that comes to mind looking at this.... I can't quite get my head around the fact that the post is the main focal subject, but the woman is in the background.

over sharpened, and busy

LOL trying to fool the 2 second voters, I'll lay odds a few missed you..

This is cool, I wish the focus was a little sharper. Cool capture.

The potatoes are not the only thing with eyes...

Well hidden that's for sure, hope others don't miss it for you
