    "Marika" This is too good. The sharpness, the stare, the blood on the crop, the simple yet powerful composition, and the killer BKGR combine to make this one a stunner.

    Pretty cool, I like the sharpness, angle, eye contact, soft light and BG. I'm not familiar with the species but on my monitor it looks as if it has a slight green cast.

    :) thank you! Axel you may be right about the green, I had a white balance adjustment issue that made all my photos green - I have to manually adjust it in NX...

    " Mariki" , I echo the words of Guruji ( Arthur Morris ) here and another vote for slight green cast which can be corrected very easily. Big congrats for this

    Hi Marietjie, GC always produces, and I like the detail and sharpness. Killer BG too. ( another member from the other side )
