Hey Ovidiu,
Not my favorite perch.....but the light and comp are VG.....although I could go a bit tighter for my tastes as the frog is fantasic and I want to see more of it and less of the perch. Let's see what others think!

I agree with Roman, as the brown OOF area behind the frog draws my eye away. In fact, I wish the DOF was a little more shallow so that area would be more blurred. Also it seems a little too contrasty, and the saturation could probably be increased.

Nice image, Ovidu. I agree with a tighter crop so we can see more detail, as well as with pumping up the color a bit (but only a bit). Burning/darkening the perch would help keep the viewer's attention on your subject. Yeah, a little more PP time and you can really improve an already successful image.

Hi Ovidiu. This is a very colorful frog and it is giving you an excellent pose. Good comp and sharpness. There are some interesting comments above to consider. You might experiment with reducing contrast a little and blurring the background more, as I think that would take this image up a notch or two. :S3:

Very cool looking tee frog and pose, Ovidiu. Nice sharpness, color, exposure, agree maybe tighter crop would strengthen it. Good work!

Hey Ovidiu, you found a cool frog and captured a great pose! I like the idea of a tighter crop and blurring the BG so the area in front of the head isn't distracting. Here's a quick edit to show what I was thinking of.
