Love the texture blend between the rock and toad.

Good close-up/macro shot with nice details in the eyes.
Not quite sure what to suggest, or what is the best way to do it, but this image, in my opinion, would benefit from a change (lowering) in saturation or contrast of the background perhaps. Just a thought.

Harsh lighting and very shallow depth of field will hurt you in scoring this image.
