terrrific! this stopped me...makes you wonder...a great sense of storytelling...this shot is so much more than almost every other shot in the challenge...
I came back to this to bump it up (to a 10). The composition is great, the range of tones is superior. The skin is dead-on, tack sharp. The ONLY thing I'd suggest is to change that top border to get rid of that branch. Superior shot. Thanks.
I think your photo would have more impact if you cropped out the top third to get rid of tree frond and excess background light. Otherwise a great photo.
