G’day EC,
You certainly have a character here! What a poser and so GREEN!
Great light and exposure, good composition and you have squeezed the very best you could from that shallow depth of field. Anything that has been lost in the depth of field has been very well made up for by your very sharp seective focus that has given us such a great eye.
Very good catchlights in the eye, lovely contrasts and absolutely lovely colours including the tones in the back ground which has a nice bokeh to it.
Lovely work and most deserving of the praise it receives!
