During another shoot, we came across 4 toads sitting on a set of stairs in the darkness. I was able to capture a few decent shots. This is one of them. It's not as good as I'd like but considering I was not even going to enter this week until 2am Monday morning. It's not too bad.

That's a good legend - nice subject for the challenge. The lighting is somewhat extreme. Some fill flash would have brought more detail out in the toad and opened up the deep shadows some. If possible, set your flash to a negative EV value for a nice fill. Best of luck to you.
The lighting highlights the warty nature of the skin, giving it texture, but I think I would prefer the subject to have better lighting from the front.
Great idea and nicely done, although perhaps it is a little dark? The texture of the toad's back is good though, and you might have lost some of this I guess if there was more light. It would be nice to see the eye of the toad a little better though to add more interest to the shot.
Good shot, but I think it would be nice to see a little more focus on the wall in front of the toad. Also, this shot was probably taken pretty quickly and on the spot, but there is a great deal of noise in the shadows.
Great composition! :) It may just be my monitor at work, but the toad seems a bit dark though. I wish I could see this awesome image with the toad better-lit.
Seems way underexposed. Even though the background would have been whited out, if you had compensated exposure by +1 or so, the toad would have come out much better.
It's certainly an odd perspective of a toad since we usually see them sitting horizontally. Very contrasty, which IMHO cuts down on the detail on toad's skin.
