Nice, Lisa. I like this for its contrasting textures and the foreground/background isolation. Good title as well.

Thanks -tv for your compliment, and Nico, thanks for the instruction and compliments. I have a replacement - if I am out of line here, I will put the original back with cropped suggestions.

... and a nice title too!

Oh, I do like the feel of this one... as if I can smell the forest and sense the peace and tranquility. Wonderful. Exceedingly "green"!

If you would permit me two more comments: (1) I would perhaps have tried a slightly closer crop to exclude the dark bit in the upper left corner, alternatively perhaps tried to edit it out. (2) The small green plant seems to be in focus rather nicely towards the bottom of the frame, but becomes softer towards the top. Probably simply since it was leaning slightly at an angle. Could it be that a slighly higher f-stop could have brought more of it into focus? Neither of these are major issues, obviously, and I can assure you I would not even bothered to mention these if I did not really like the image!

Compliments and regards Nico

Lovely, beautifully executed rain forest capture with the topic right on. -tv
