I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives:Very intriguing - a nice spot through the trees and your dark, grainy, contrasty approach to the edit suits the subject really well. I particularly like the head shine! The whole composition makes me wonder where you were in relation to the subject; always a good thing to leave the viewer guessing.
Critical stuff: More often than not, I'm not a fan of (very) landscape orientations. I don't dislike this one but it hasn't changed my mind.
Overall: Nice juxtaposition of elements - very effective image.
Grog want to improve scores and needs better magic picture box. Great magic picture box will make Grog great photographer. Grog cannot afford. Cost too many animal pelts. Grog hides in tree near waterfall, waits for DrAchoo. Hehehe. Grog is great hider-in tree.
