Elizabeth,
Sweet capture, the detail, the perch and the handling of the light are all outstanding. I especially enjoy the title, it really seems to fit perfectly. My only nit would be with the bright BG above the subject. IMO this image would be better served with a pano crop, leaving the side to side and bottom as is but, removing the top down to below the blown out whites in the BG just above the diagonal leaf.
Well Done . . . :toast:

Very cool image! Great pose, lighting and detail. I agree with Mike's idea for a pano crop.

Great capture, i also think that cropping the upper part would be interesting.

Excellent capture, Elizabeth. I like the frog's placement in the frame, the eye level perspective, and the nice light on the frog. Agree with the previous crop suggestion.
