    What can I say???
    We can't all be beautiful roses or irises!
    Some of us are just plain ol' fat toads. warts and all!

    Canon 40D
    Canon 70-200 at 190
    1/250"
    f5.6
    ISO 200
    EC +.67

    Since I couldn't focus very close with this lens, this is a major crop. I do have another image with my Tamron lens where I could get very close and you could see more of his feet, but I like his pose better in this image.

    I added contrast and saturated mainly to bring out his warts, bumps and spots.
    What can I say??? when you gotta shoot, you gotta shoot what you can find.

    Go ahead, when you're done laughing, I would appreciate any C&C you might have.....
    Thanks!

    He sure looks smug!
    The pose is great and I don't mind the limited DOF but I would have liked to see its entire head in focus. It looks like you just missed getting the tip of the nose but maybe some selective sharpening could remedy that.

    Ken, he either looks smug, or a "Go ahead, Make my day!" attitude. lol

    Yes, Ken, I noticed that the tip of the nose is oof. bummers. I had focused on the nostril on our right thinking that would get all of the face in focus. I should have increased the dof a bit. but he left before I could get back outside after seeing that on the computer.

    someone asked if the image was supposed to be on an angle. I lined up his eyes in Photoshop to make them level, but I did like and intentionally kept the board on a diagonal. My other image is a straight on view with a straight board, but it seemed more static than this image. (and I think his nose is a bit out of focus there too :o but I will have to check.)

    Nice pose, I like his look:)..., sharp eyes, and like the bg color. I dont mind the shallow DOF. I would clean the white spot at the bottom.

    Ditto Ken on the face. Nice comp, and like his smug look. Not a pretty customer, but a pretty shot for sure.

    Hey Cheryl, very cute little guy, perfect focus on the eyes. I always like lines on angles, so I think you did fine, you could have also shot so the perch was angled up opposed to downward. Good BG

    He's adorable! Agree that the tip of the nose is the only distraction here - everything else is very well done. I like that you lined up the eyes and left the image on a slant - nice job cropping as well.
