Default Tree Frog

Here's a shot I quite like, it's take after the two that can be found in the macro section. The frog was not hangin around, so Im really happy I got this shot. It is cropped from the original, only to put the frog in its current position. Two seconds later and the frog was gone, never to be seen again

Frog - 13 DSP

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

M

Nicely composed capture of the frog. My only observation would be that the background, being lighter in some areas than the foreground, tends to distract and draw my eye there and away from the frog.

Default tree frog edit

Very nice.

hope you dont mind, I saw your frog sitting there and wanted him to "Pop" out, so i threw him in a B&W background and changed his hue a little with some saturation. and went for a contrasting background.


(re-edit - taking clockdocs observations, i made some small edits to bring the frog out a little - does this help clock?)

Hi,

Thanks for the advice and adacosta I really like what you have done to that, really make it stand out! Take a look at my flickr photos as there are a couple more pics of the frog on there.

Cheers,
