Tree Frog Take 2

Same guy as the last a little earlier. I liked the posture and free space in the comp. Finding these guys isn't always easy, and it's sometimes a challenge to get a clean comp, let alone a decent pose while still active. I've always enjoyed watching them before settling in for the day, where they'll seemingly bound off into nowhere in particular, but always find a good landing strip. This guy was on the ready for escape but stayed still for this one frame. Cropped slightly from top and right.

I like this one too. The unusual POV and the composition work very well!

I really like this pov, Bill.  It has a great sense of "looking out at the world and wondering what to do next".

Great shot, Bill.  I really like this.  Like Mark said, it looks like he is looking out over the world.

Pleasing greens and clean image. I like that I can see a small bit of the black eye. Nice image!

This is so cute Bill. I love the feeling of looking over the frog's shoulder here. Fantastic color, texture, water droplets and those beautiful bright little yellow spots. Great overall composition.
