Superb macro.
Verdant overtone is visually soothing.
A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject. Excellent POV & DOF...Harmonious colors. Impressive lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...

This pic is so beautiful, i love the still soft feeling it gives nice depth and great detail, love the one eye close up and wow check out the reflection, well done, the lighting is also well done great exposure, overall good composition very creative, the one thing i do notice is the positioning in the frame the toe is a bit cut of and there is available space on top. But don't mind me, your photo is great, its captivating.

    Thanks Jole for such a great review and high rating. I will touch up the bottom so the toes are not cut off. A minor thing but also a good suggestion. This one is headed for a juried show so I might as well make it as good as I can.

This little guy looks real serious and curious. I like how you took the shot revealing his one eye and one little hand hanging on. You can really see the intricacies of his skin and I appreciate your photograph.
