someone said it is out-of focus. it is. if you look under the neck, in the center of the photo- that is the focal point. seems to me that the eyes or area immediately around the eyes should be in focus. right now the image composition draws you to the focal point, the center. if you have no control of the focal point through the camera and wanted a nice frame, forget that. Put the eye in the middle of the photo and shoot. use photoshop to crop it how you like... this would have been a very very good photo. good luck

Cool!

I really like the non-traditional composition. I like all the rest too, but the comp is one of the strongest features of this photo. Well done.

This is a very nice shot. I like the shades of green. It has good DOF. I don't think that there is anything that I would change in this photo.

First thing that I noticed was the nice green, the second was that it was out of focus.

great, the composition makes it look very big, makes me think of Jurassic Park.
