One from the botanical garden of the Chiricahua Desert Museum near Rodeo, NM.  Kind of an odd bg, but I liked the way it sat down in the reeds.

7Dii, 500mm, f4 ISL + 1.4TC, Monopod, f/6.3, 1/640, iso 400, aprture priority, center weighted average metering with +2/3 stop exposure compensation.  Processed in LR5 and CS6.  Cropped to 13.7 MP from the original 20.  Taken March 7th at 3:36 pm.

Please feel free to comment.

Thanks  for looking,

Serene. Were you on your belly in the grass?

Really like the grassy setting/environment, and the WC is very sharp/clear Dennis.

Excellent natural color and light managementdevil

PS - I did a rework on the PB as you suggested..

Very very nice.  Wonderful feel, almost like a work of art.  If this were mine, I think I would hang this on my wall.  I have no idea of what you have to work with, but if there were room I wonder how he would look just a bit more to the right.
