Hi Folks,
I really need to get out of the office..! The day here is really quite nice but work demands that I stay put..
So I am left to share this European Tree Frog with you.. They are such great little subjects and I can't wait to go back and do some more stuff with them. I tried to flip this one on its horizontal but not sure which way works best..?
Have a good day..
Brett.

Nice one Brett (liked this first time I saw it....) just a thought, perhaps flip it so that the frog faces the other direction?

Hate to admit it but I agree with Phil, for some reason I prefer to see things looking left to right (because we read that way??) Needless to say its still up to your very high standards.
It’s always worth flipping an image, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, it’s a personal thing, and yes, it is a lot to do with the way we read, as our eyes tend to “travel” more naturally across a page, from left to right, anyway you’re the only one who knows the truth.
A very nice capture, well seen and taken.

Good shot. No problem with lookin to the "wrong" site.

Nice shot indeed: certainly a species I'd like to spend some more time photographing too.
On the L to R thing I have a view that if you want to create some subconscious tension/controversy etc then r to l works best, if you want a natural pleasing/soothing image then l to r does. Maybe poppycock but it seems logical based on the reading theory.

I share your frustrations about being stuck inside on this beautiful day as well.
