    Hi Don, I agree with Mike about the contrast of leaf and frog color. That intense color really pops. Nice detail in the skin and its little "cave".

    The colors and sharpness are excellent. I really like the composition too.

    Don, this really is a jewel of a shot! You couldn't ask for a better looking setup. There are a few highlights on the wet leaf in the LLC that could be removed and really that's probably just me being picky. :)

    Have you been to Costa Rica recently?

    Hi Don, Love the color of the frog and its placement in the leaf. looks like you had a great time with Jim at his workshop.

    That red really jumps out at you, Don! Very nice comp, sharpness, and DOF. A minor point - you might consider brightening the front of the frog's face a little - just around its nose. :) Well done.

    I don't think you could have planned a better composition. Those colors with the twist of brown leaf are over the top wonderful. Nice job getting him well illuminated inside that leaf. Super image!
