so creative...and nice shots too bro..

Was figuring out how to present this treehopper.Don`t want to present like dictionary though.
was looking through the shots then I saw the unfocussed white part caused by the flash appears like he give out his breath.
Then an idea came to my mind and this is how it went.
Glad you liked it,tigmoseismo.
