Common Toad
Found this little fella in one of my flower beds and managed after several attempts to get him to sit still long enough for some stacking. It's one of this years young so its about an inch and a quarter long. Trouble is , the macro has brought out a lot of the surrounding detail which I didn't like at first - then I thought well that's the stuff it was in so what.. Anyway its a nice pic of moss and liverwort !
Theres so much detail in the shot that I had to compress it X8 to get down to 200kbs. I,m normally on 3.
D200 Sigma 50 mm macro.
6 stacked shots in CZM
25th @f4 160 ISO
80% of full frame.

Cropped it a bit to avoid cloning the blurs out.
