Well, I wasn't planning on entering this challenge, but I found this rather large toad swimming around our inflatable pool. After rescuing him, I took some pics and named him Frogger. Then of course I let him go. He was very cooaperative though. I think he was frozen in fear, lol.
I am a little annoyed parts of his feet got cut off, but this was a pretty fun shoot ;-)

i really like this photo. i think it would have worked a little better if the front arms could have remained in focus and the back legs left unfocused by the depty of field. however, it still looks great.
8 - Very good. Focus looks spot on and nice clarity. Good composition. Criticism; not much, mainly the 'chopped foot'. Perhaps a slightly wider/larger DOF to incorporate the 'mouth', but obviously lens dependent.
