Copes Gray Tree Frog

[Mike Lentz]

We get a fair amount of these guys out in the backyard during the summer months and they make good photo subjects from time to time. :)

Perfect! I wish the left petal were no clipped but one hardly notices it! I think this is wonderful.

Love all the bright, rich colors but I agree about the petal of the flower. I'd add a little canvas to the left, take off a little on the right and you'll have a smashing image on your hands.

Love the frog, and the flower and the EXP and the BKGR, but the flower needs more room all around.

[Fabs Forns]

And if you don't have more room, crop closer :) Good catch!

[Mike Lentz]

Thanks for the comments guys! I agree with a wee bit added to the left hand side so as to not nip the flower. How in the world did I miss that? :D

Mike,
This is stunning. The frog looks about ready to leap right off the page.
Wonderful detail and good eye catching this little guy so sharp.
I agree about it being too close on the left but I think if you cropped the right more it wouldn't give this little guy room to jump. ;)
Thanks for sharing.
