good idea, but a little too green for me. Makes it difficult to focus on the tadpoles.

It would have been better if there was more evidence of the different stages, eg spawn and frogs.
04/26/2002 07:40:00 PM
not very clear. although, to be fair, the water may be to blame for that.
04/26/2002 04:11:00 PM
Eggs and a frog would have completed the cycle more fully

A very interesting shot. It may be helpful to increase the contrast and sharpen it some more. It still gets high marks from me.
04/25/2002 04:47:00 PM
One of the more interesting pictures posted this challenge. Nice job!
04/24/2002 12:27:00 PM
needs more contrast, you probably could darkened the blacks using a Levels adjustment to pucnh it up a bit.
04/24/2002 12:03:00 AM
Too murky!
04/23/2002 08:05:00 PM
difficult shot, great idea. Wish the colors had been crisper.
04/23/2002 08:05:00 PM
A bit hazy. Perhaps a polarizing filter would have cut the glare off the top of the water?
04/23/2002 05:59:00 PM
Thought about this one myself. I would have liked a sharper focus.
04/23/2002 05:34:00 PM
I like it. I think it would be better with more contrast. Did you use a polarizing filter? It might have helped.
04/23/2002 05:21:00 PM
This was a great idea for transition. I wish the picture had been a bit clearer.
04/23/2002 04:41:00 PM
Good subject! Wish it could have been closer with better lighting.
04/23/2002 03:49:00 PM
Tadpoles? Too grainy, too gray. Difficult subject to shoot.
04/23/2002 09:19:00 AM
this is soooo interesting, i wish it was clearer!
04/22/2002 09:11:00 PM
so so, the murkiness is not your fault, but still hurts the picture
04/22/2002 09:07:00 PM
This photo is interesting but i think it's a little grainy... it may be the light reflection on the water surface....
04/22/2002 04:36:00 PM
Tadpoles. Cool.
04/22/2002 04:19:00 PM
This could have been a much better shot with a polarizer. Good choice of subject!
04/22/2002 02:07:00 PM
Cool beans
04/22/2002 01:53:00 PM
one of the most challenging transitions taken, good job.
04/22/2002 12:33:00 PM
how fun..wish it was more clear though.
04/22/2002 10:26:00 AM
Good use of transitions, very nice
04/22/2002 10:15:00 AM
well..the concpet is good.
04/22/2002 09:03:00 AM
The image is hazy and unclear. I'm missing the transition.
04/22/2002 08:16:00 AM
Meets the challenge, but.....
04/22/2002 07:51:00 AM
a poor example, because if you were going to do a growth of nature, you can just photography a human
04/22/2002 07:08:00 AM
Good interpretation, a bit too far away to really stand out though.
04/23/2002 02:13:00 PM
good example
04/22/2002 02:46:00 AM
Good subject but the pic is too cloudy and cluttered.
