I love this! Wonderful perspective on your little green friend, beautiful detail on the leaf, and I love the bokeh too. Great!

Thanks guys for the compliments once again.

@gecko_gr: I very seldom go into the nitty gritty because a photo works because it captures the eye and the heart, and don't need to be "technically right" all the time. However, I'd like to point out that in the light (pun intended) of your comment that I always work with the histogram window open in Photoshop and the histogram shows that none of the RGB channels are clipped. All highlights has values less than 255. I'm sorry but I beg to differ that the photo has "blown out parts".

The histogram is here:


Other than that, thanks for the suggestion. I do have an omnibounce which I seldom use, other than to sometimes protect the front of the flash in certain assignments...
