The details look good here, Jim, but most of all it has me chuckling.

Hi Jim

Took a moment to see the scale of this, from the leaves.  A wonderfully whimsical photo.

Sheesh, you're stretching me outside my "box" as a wildlife photographer here, Jim! What a cool frame! Really well put together. Slightly frightening too...there's a few things going on here psychologically I think! The serrated leaf edges look a little like radial saw blades about to do serious harm to your shadow-dweller as well!

Great conversion, Jim, with a splendid range of tones.  Hat brim and leaves all rhythmically co-ordinated !!  devil

Jim,

Clearly this image was evocative judging from the comments.  It makes me wonder what it actually is and how it got there.  I really like absorbing the images before the explanations.  Thanks for sharing this one.  devil
