I like how the shadows bring out the frog/toad's texture, but feel the inclusion of the edges of the jar (especially as they're wonky) distract in a major way.

Description: Creatively capture a shadow Advanced Edit
1 hop too
Fit: DNMC/Unclear 0
It has a shadow but that is all - sorry
Aesthetics: OK composition 1
Really not sure what this picture is all about. Lines are vertical and not vertical, the image feels scewed and may have benefited from some cropping inside the beaker and a little perspective skew?
Technical: Technically OK 1
Wow: Not special/ordinary 0
It really pains me to score any picture this low but I am struggling to find anything good to say about it. Sorry.
Total Score = 2
i like the variety of colours, and also the picture gives a clear impression of what it would be like to touch the toad / frog, it conveying texture very well... i personally might have tried cropping within the confines of edges of the glass container, as the background (or the fact that the picture isn't quite level) is more of a distraction. this picture is also let down slightly by the scratchy / smeary looking surface of the glass - if you have photoshop elements the heal tool might have helped a bit... i have noted the presence of shadows, but i don't think it's really a prominent enough a feature to really fit the challenge... i do still like it though - the more i look at it the more striking it feels. it's also cute. erm, 6.
