    I like your frog :) :)
    The sun reflection in the eye is fantastic - exposure looks good as do the colours. The golden metalic colours of the eye are quite striking.
    Did you try any others with just the eye as the main subject.

    Yes I tried, that's what I was aiming to get:), but...did not manage to get a better one, he was moving, or sun angle was not right, or I was not quick enough (seems that I have to practice much more moving on the belly with camera and tripod:)) so, I ended with this one, few minutes after shooting this one the sun was gone behind the neighbor's house...Anyway I was very close, don't know how much closer I could get, the toad is not a big one, about 10 cm body lenght.

    Great shot. Wonderful study of how to get a starburst from the sun... though f/10 wouldn't be quite stopped down enough if shooting with the sun in the image instead of a reflection. The detail in the eye, plus the starburst just pushes this photo right over the edge for me. Good composition. Looks like the front most eye is right about on the "thirds" intersect. Nice work.

    That eye is just awsome! Great work. Frogs around here would never let you get that close.

    The sharp eye and tight crop make the image for me.
