A classic Costa Rican subject, and one that I never seem to get tired of. This guy was photographed at night using flash as main light during my last workshop. I don't normally go with square crops, but it seemed to work here.

Crop looks good to me, Doug! Another beautiful frog image - I can't get over how well you all are handling the reds and yellows in these images. They are extremely saturated but not overly so - really beautiful!

Only suggestion I have is to consider cloning some of the smaller water drops on the two lower leaves - totally up to you, though.

Also like the square crop on this one. Beautiful colors and nice pose. Black BG works perfect. Very well handled night shoot with FAML.
I might be tempted to clean up some of the white spots.
Like it a lot!

What a great capture. I really like the unique composition that focuses on the flower AND the frog. The vibrant colors are wonderful.

A nice image and frog but composition does not work for me here. The frog seems as is almost ready to fall and I find the yellows a tad over saturated (including the frog), the black BG works pretty good in here.
