This is great! The comp is perfect, I like the leaf in the foreground, and the diagonal position of the other leaves.

David,

OK, this one pegs out the cute factor as we all love froggy pictures. Great looking background with good eye level presentation.
I guess we are going to have to make a trip to Jean Lafitte soon.

Really nice! I hear these frogs all the time but haven't spotted one yet.

Just when I think your frog images couldn't get any better - the last two proved me wrong. Still looking for an agent?!? :wink:

A great shot - the subject, foreground, and background are in perfect balance. I'll give the ultimate compliment ..."I sure wish I had taken that". ...Ken

Beautiful image. The little frog was clearly posing just for you ;) His rounded fingers are further accentuated by the tripping dew on the leaves. Very nice.

Is this Barataria? I was at Barataria in Jean Lafitte NP in the spring, and it's just such a magical place. I've been worried about it since all the storm damage has caused such pollution.
