I am expecting great things from this photograph, because I really like it. At the least, I want this to break my top 5.
And since I only have to get above a 5.4 for that to happen, I will be disappointed if it doesn't.
Editing this photo I realized just how much I have improved in Photoshop since joining this site. And that is saying something, because I only joined in March!
This picture was very decent before editing, but just some small touches here and there really brought out the "gem" within. Had I known that earlier, I would have submitted THIS picture in the Free Study

lovely shot of an interesting pose. Great use of DOF and I like how you have brought out the orange as I think it works well with the green back ground.
