Hey Don, like the comp and great contrast of the frog's color against the earthy color of the leaf. good sharp detials.

[Julie Brown]

Hi Don, I agree with Mike about the contrast of leaf and frog color. That intense color really pops. Nice detail in the skin and its little "cave".

[Jim Bridges]

The colors and sharpness are excellent. I really like the composition too.

[Dave Mills]

Hi Don, Very interesting view of the frog in habitat. Good use of the flash and a well structured comp.Lots of impact which makes for a strong image!!

[Ken Childs]

Don, this really is a jewel of a shot! You couldn't ask for a better looking setup. There are a few highlights on the wet leaf in the LLC that could be removed and really that's probably just me being picky. :)

Have you been to Costa Rica recently?

[Paul Lagasi]

What else can I say..agree with all..lovely image..where was this image taken?

[Don Lacy]

Hi Don, Love the color of the frog and its placement in the leaf. looks like you had a great time with Jim at his workshop.

[Steve Maxson]

That red really jumps out at you, Don! Very nice comp, sharpness, and DOF. A minor point - you might consider brightening the front of the frog's face a little - just around its nose. :) Well done.

[Julie Kenward]

I don't think you could have planned a better composition. Those colors with the twist of brown leaf are over the top wonderful. Nice job getting him well illuminated inside that leaf. Super image!
