Frogger

[Jay R. Seltzer]

We found a stowaway Gray Treefrog in our conservatory recently. He must have come in on one of the orchids before Winter. My son has named him "Frogger". He lives free among the plants and eats crickets (provided by us) and whatever other bugs he finds. He seems to know to stay away from the Royal Python that also lives in there. Frogger is about 1.5 inches long.

He seems to be smiling for the picture...

I have to admit this is not my favorite subject :o
But I'm a girl, I'm allowed:D

Great exposure and the compo does not suck.I'd probably tone down the green leaf upper rightt. Looking forward to more :)

I agree about the bright green but overall a nice photo with nice dof.
It has the look of a much larger frog than 1.5 inches long!

yep, that leaf has to go. i love the face and eyes though. perhaps even try a drastic crop to make it a portrait???

[Robert O'Toole]

Love the expression, how cool, and agree about the upper corner.

Hey Jay, I think its a great shot, the expression on the frogs face is what makes it for me. I would nomally agree with the brite leaf in the corner, but with the sunny brite corner give you the idea that its resting in the shade, so I think from that prespective it works. I would clone out the brown piece of dirt between his eye and corner of the mouth.
