Very mic capture Howard. Great detail and sharpness in the eye. I like how even the eye is camouflage colored. The background works nicely to show how it blends in as well.

The detail in this little one's eye is terrific, Howard. You've also managed to get it's nose sharp, which is another big challenge with frogs. Well done.
