Big. Big enough for Large, Huge, and Gargantuan creatures to be a part of the environment."Maple leaf-shaped wings blend into tree canopy".... how large exactly are those trees?

I understand that, but having wings shaped like a single leaf do not accomplish that… If they were textured like leaves, that might help…Large going by the other image, but they are not supposed to be mistaken for single leaves just blend in.
trees with leaves the size of a dragon wing? Just extra large trees do not really help you here, as the wing being shaped like a leaf does not really help blending in when the wing is half the size of the treeAnd it's not like forests with unnaturally large trees is a new concept in D&D, either.
Maybe not for Adult/Ancient Dragons, but maybe for Wyrmling/Young Dragons. Young animals often have camouflages that are aimed at fooling predators. Or for an especially large trees/forests, like Yggdrasil or Garden.trees with leaves the size of a dragon wing?

was thinking about Wyrmlings too, but even then it is a stretch, albeit more conceivable. Yggdrasil might work, but that was not the intent here.Maybe not for Adult/Ancient Dragons, but maybe for Wyrmling/Young Dragons. Or for an especially large trees/forests, like Yggdrasil or Garden.
I have nothing against cool or distinctive, I have a problem with the explanation. That is like saying King Kong has the shape of a gorilla, so he can blend in with the other gorillasAlso, it looks cool and makes them more distinctive from the other dragon types.
I agree that except in unordinary/rare circumstances, this type of camouflage probably won't help Green Dragons. But I love doing encounters in unordinary circumstances. I can think of multiple examples of how I could use this in my favorite setting, Eberron (Lammania has giant forests with trees bigger than skyscrapers, Green Dragons could specifically raise their Wyrmlings in giant forests of Argonessen/Xen'drik to take advantage of this, etc). If the goal of the artwork is to inspire encounters on how to use Green Dragons (which I've never been tempted to use before), it already worked for me.was thinking about Wyrmlings too, but even then it is a stretch, albeit more conceivable.

I get your point, but I also think that it's not really a big deal and perhaps missing the main aim of the new design.I have nothing against cool or distinctive, I have a problem with the explanation.

no, not a big deal, just something that immediately popped into my head when I read that sentenceI get your point, but I also think that it's not really a big deal and perhaps missing the point.
Yggdrasil is a Maple?Yggdrasil might work, but that was not the intent here.
It’s brown leaf colour in the bottom of the wings. It’s supposed to blend into canopy at the top of the forest not next to a single tree.trees with leaves the size of a dragon wing?
