Using a similar technique as my Studio slow-worm and lizard shots, I captured this frog the other day in my garden. I was sorting some things behind the shed and it leaped out. So, not wanting to waste the encounter I set up a small studio in the garden using picnic table, white card and a 'brick' as support for the card.. Now plenty of stock frog images..

Have a good weekend folks..

A well executed image Brett, not the usual treatment seen on here but I can certainly see what you are at with it.

That's a belting shot, really really like it, the angle of shooting especially
Should be able to swop in any colour background you want in PS too
