Hi Milan, this guy is cute! :)
The DOF and the colors work for me but I think this could use a tighter crop....something to get the eye closer to a ROT position. Taking a significant amount off the top and a little off the left and right should do the trick. Slightly lightening and sharpening that cool eye should make it look even better. It looks good and with a few simple editing tweaks it should easily move up a few notches. Well done!

Hey Milan,
I agree with Ken's assesment.....especially the top crop. These small tweaks will make this frog shine!

Hi Milan. This guy is much more colorful than the toads I'm used to seeing! Good sharpness and lighting and I like the low shooting angle. There are some helpful suggestions above for you to consider. :)

I like Ken's idea for a crop but my first thought was to simply take some off the bottom (about half of the OOF area) and maybe a small slice off the right side. I'd definitely give that eye a curves adjustment and make it sparkle! What a cutie he is!

Hi Milan, agree with the above comments. I love shooting the frogs and toads that are indigenous to Ontario - can't get enough shots of them. This little guy you shot is absolutely amazing, love its coloration.
