Like Andreas, I too feel the soft colours of the backdrop really echo that sense of layering, but also it provides a great insight into the location and habitat. The 'virtual' legs, well I think it's borderline for me, but if you have more or can extend the canvas a fraction then I think this would help. The low PoV works oh so well and I like the slight head turn. My only issue is, to me the head does not look sharp, the rack looks fractionally better, but overall it lacks the 'perceptual' sharpness & detail I would expect. It could just be that the image requires a bit more USM, or, at 1/125sec it's lost critical sharpness. I'm just surprised Dale you don't push the ISO, although I think 1600 might be as far as I might like to push it, but it's that extra bit of SS that can make all the difference.
