Jack ============= What he said, or with another approach with a macro lens. I don't find the subject matter all that interesting, but for me, I think you came closest with this one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3305373531 Looks like a little soldier. Too close to the bottom of the frame, rather see it a tad closer up, more dramatic, maybe with a great sky. Maybe move low enough, close enough so more separation between it and trees with it's head more against the sky. Just my .02. But I think you need, like Jack said, either a telephoto with more DOF, or a macro lens to make it more appealing.
