David, the frog's colors stand out well and the details around it are very striking.  I've enjoying the textures around it enough to wonder if it would sit still long enough to do a stack to get more of it's surroundings in focus.  (I've managed stacks a couple of times with Grey Tree Frogs, because they will sit unmoving for many minutes at a time.)

Mark, I like the depth of field here but I could also see an image stack with greater depth of field especially in the posterior part of the image.  I'm going to go back out there tomorrow if the weather is appropriate and I'll try that if I find another tree frog.

Wow, this has great detail David.  I really like your DOF in this one. The OOF curves in front and back give this a total 3D effect.

Wonderful shot, I like the POV, the BG and the pose a lot.
