Cute image of this small frog. Very clever the way you used the foreground to exaggerate the respective size of the leaf and frog. Well captured, Andrius.

Hello Andrius.. I love the composition a lot. The simplicity and lines and the yellow and the green ..very well done. The larger version is more effective. May be a marginal crop could bring out the frog a little better, but thats personal

He "speaks to me". Love the colors and the simplicity! And the ridges in the leaf make all that green so very appealing to my eyes.

Wonderful and unusual composition - very creative. I might consider removing those two black dots to the right of the frog. Also there appears to be a dark smudge in the LR corner which I find distracting in an otherwise perfect image.
