This is another one of my toads!!! He's a big 'un and he gets annoyed with me pretty easily. He's not a pet, but I see him all the time. (YOu should see it when I mow...trying to avoid all the toads, preying mantis' and other creatures)

Holly, a good setting for this picture. The bit of darker background behind the Toad sets him off well. It seems to me it is a bit soft around the eye area, and that your focus point was to the left of Mr. Toad, my only small nit.

Holly, nice low POV and I like the dark opening in the vegetation and the expression (or lack thereof) on the toad's face. This is his home! Comment about focus point already made, but nice as is.

I really like the eye-level perspective and his wide mouthed expression. I agree that focus is perhaps slightly askew. Do I see the remnants of some cloning or eraser work behind the head?

The color and framing is good. The frog seems a little soft and a little two centered.
