Its really difficult to "clean the glass" while the frog is crawling all over it! They dont sit still for long!

Lol - love the title. the colors on the frog are great - so vivid. The glass is a little dirty and takes away from the frog as does the wrinkly cloth background (at least that what it looks like to me).

Another cutie pie froggy! Nice detail, great expression! 9

I thought the back ground could be made darker so as not to see the wrinkles. The frog is great! I would also suggest cleaning up the glass he is sitting on as well.

Less light on the background would make this a better image for me.

A good crisp portrait, although a little let-down by the uninspiring background. The deatil in the eye looks amazing.

The lighting just doesn't pop for me. Perhaps if the background was totally black it would have worked better for me.

This looks similar to a shot from HALF :) -- But in this case it works.

Aw, what a cutie! Normally we don't get to see their undersides! A tighter crop would have helped us see more detail.

The texture on his head is amazing, very cool. Love how bright green he is. The dirty glass (?) is a bit distracting, though.

Great capture - so very clear - I think a tighter crop may have worked better, the negative space with crinkles and lines etc is a distraction.

good color, good sharpness on the frog. composition is too centered (face exactly in image center), would have cropped off 20% at right and top. wrinkles in backdrop distract, so a tighter crop would have helped that, too.
