I like everything about this one. Color, composition, and expression. I find when I shoot frogs with a flash I get a lot of reflection. That wasn't an issue for you. Cool shot Jeffrey

I really love this photo. The detail in the eyes is amazing, and also the texture of the feet. Such an interesting frog. Great job.

Excellent Shot!

I love the composition and the sharpness in the eyes. Colour also works a treat.

I really like this - its the symmetry with the curved leaf that makes it for me. I've spent quite a lot of time in South America too and really enjoyed photographing the tree frogs there, never saw one of these though.

Jeffrey,

What a funny expression on this guy's face. He almost looks hung over from the night before.

I love the detail on his forelegs and his soft belly.

Nice capture.

Excellent work, and deserves the EP. But does the frog have a deformed left front foot, or is it just a trick of the angle?

This looks like a Hyloscirtus phyllognatus (before Hyla phyllognata). Nice shot, but when handling green frogs careful with the digits, they are so fragile and you can see a slight hematoma in one of its fingers...!
