Good candid subject difficult to get right in the camera; so as others mentioned, some cropping and cloning of leaves will clear the clutter. -tv

It does feel like your peeking throught the bushes which I like. The bottom big leaves may be little bright and dominent but overall it works very well for me. -COAmature

Nice idea for the portrait Tom! You have enough leaves around him that if you cropped off a few inches of the out-of-focus bright ones on the bottom, you would still have a well framed shot. What do you think? CJ

Nice job of getting your shot (and a fine one) Tom, he has no idea he is being stalked ;-)

Thanks for the comments guys,
Considering I was scrambling around in the brush & looking like an insane person to the strangers passing by, I think the leaves behaved fairly well!

Tom, I really like the private contemplative moment suggested here. Too bad those framing leaves weren't a bit more cooperative. ;-)
