A typical pose from one of these guys. I like the green background. I do wish for a bit less brightness on the tree trunk. Both the smaller and larger versions look like they have had a pretty heavy round of sharpening applied? Also a bit surprised at the amount of noise in the larger version apparent in the background, especially at ISO 400.

Allen,
Great pose you captured here with nice detail in the subject and the BG makes him stand out well. If this were mine, I would crop away the OOF part of the tree (about the right two thirds). By removing this distracting tree area it will also move your subject over a bit and not be so centered.
