Andres, that shot is absolutely magnificent. What a beautiful pose and your light is spectacular. Congrats! (I don't know how Deni spots them so quickly; I have difficulty seeing them.)

Beautiful shot. If it was me, I would probably edit the green to black in the right side of the photo as it tends to take my eye away from the subject... - but then again, that might just be me. :)

Wonderful shot! But I personaly would crop the unsharp green from right, and also bit of the black above so it stays in format. Anyways, great job!;)
