So that is what they look like. Are they that fluorescent green?
Nice position of the frog on the branch and in the frame. Nicely blurred bg. I like the size of the frog in the frame--the focus is clearly on the frog.
I'm thinking the focus isn't as sharp as it might be. I wonder if a faster shutter speed?
Thanks for sharing.
hey.. jim.. i like the angle of frog.. Bg also nice blur..
but little bit unfocus.. Faster shutter speed it will works..as per anita said..
Thanks..
Thanks! You're seeing the same thing I am and I though it was just me.:eek:

Oh yes, a definite improvement! You sacrifice the more blurred bg, but get an in focus frog, which is the subject of the photo. :-) Smart of you to take several shots. I also like the more angled branch--or what appears to be more angled. I might take some off the left so it has a crop similar to original post. The less blurred bg is fine with me.
Thanks Anita! I got to work on this little guy. about an inch long, for an hour and got several photos while it was catching flying insects that came close to it. I'm working on my PP skills so please have patience with me.![]()
Yes...This one is clear.. In this also.. Good angle And Blur BG..
Waiting for other frogs..!!!!
Hi Jim, the second pic is definitely an improvement in clarity and in color....the colors are oversaturated in the OP. Blur the BG a bit and crop in tighter on that second pic and you'll definitely have a winner!
Officially you're not supposed to post more that one picture per post in the critique forums but we'll let it slide this time. ....revised edits of the OP are always OK.![]()
Hi Jim. I agree with the others that your OP was soft, oversaturated, and the whites were rather bright.The repost is way better on all counts!
A few tweaks to the background, as suggested by Ken, will make it even stronger. Also, you might consider some "eye-doctor" work. There are 3 catchlights in the eye and although they are natural in that you didn't use flash, I think the image would be more appealing if you cloned out two of them. I'm looking forward to more images of this cooperative fellow.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions Ken and Steve! I forgot we could add a post except for rework and it won't happen again....very sorry![]()
I love these little guys. The re post is much better RE detail. I like the extra room on the left as well. Youmight consider lightening the BG in the re post.
