He sure is colorful. I like the green on him, makes him standout.

He sure is a colourful character. I'd recommend everyone go check out Arlon's link to the larger version as (IMO) in this instance size does make a difference :oops: .

Bruce :D

I agree, there are some places where larger is better. Macro is often on of those places! Thanks for the comments..
