Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II. 1/30, f8. Saw this little guy in amongst the callas in my backyard as I was looking for flowers to cut for the house. Like the contrast of scale.

I like the composition here a lot, but the frog highlights seem a bit bright.

Wonderful comp and colors, Lucy! Excellent way to show the very small size of this little frog.

I love seeing the sense of scale with the combination of the frog and the leaves, Lucy. Great colors in the leaves. I think that maybe if you were able to selectively darken the frog just a tad that it would work well.

I like the leaf immensely. I wish the frog were less bright, easily enough solved.

Thanks so much all for the comments. Glad dimming the frog is an easy fix, esp since I spent time trying to get those leaves right.
