    I photographed this frog in the very dim light of the Costa Rican rain forest. I added dry brush texture and I belive this improved his looks:).

    C & C most welcome.

    Nice image design but I am not a fan of introduced mega noise.... Lightening the dark browns would be a good plan.

    Nancy, I don't mind the BG texture I think it gives it some interest. I might take a small slice off the top to eliminate the darker outlines of the leaves. Nicely done.:)

    Nancy, I'm also not a fan of grain or noise but I think it is a good OOTB technique. I like the frog a lot, would prefer a little less definition in the background.

    I don't mind the texture at all, Nancy. To me it adds interest. Nice colors and pose. Good suggestions by Denise and Kerry.

    Nancy, I like the effect - nice earthy colors and I like your composition.
