I can see him, he is there sitting quite inside those bushes - but still .... the underexposure and the balance of the opening in the leaves might just not be working. The tones of the blues and the greens are not getting separated because of the exposure. You were trying anything specific here ?

shiva....yes ..it is an oof and a focused shot combined....
intentionally kept the exposures closer to, and not distinctly different....i like the feel...of not seeing it ..till u see it..kind.
experimenting...really!
