I knew this one wouldnt do well in the scores. To be honest I havent really tried to take much for challenges though I want to.. My only reason for submitting this one is because I like Steve's work, and I hope to get a giggle out of someone that knows his personality.
If you look at his profile he has frog for his avatar as well as in his portfolio there are a couple of cute frogs...
I have gone back and tried shooting this again but just cant get the affect like this one with the dirt showing...
Anyways atleast Steve must of liked it he left a funny comment. :) lol!! Thanks for the votes and the helpful comments all.. Peace Frog!

Sorry, voted this shot a 3, mainly because of the poor image quality. In case you want me to be more specific, I mean the blurriness/lack of contrast and washed out colors of the shot and also the exposure, it would have looked so much cooler had you used about 1/3 or 1/2 less exposure, bringing out the colors in this statue or whatever it is. Not really fond of the angle this is shot from either, think I would have liked it better if you had gotten down to the same level of the statue. Sorry for the rant, I just figured you at least deserved an explanation for the low vote.

Ahhhhh... finally... Someone captures the real Steve. Ladies of DPC... kiss the "lost" frog and turn him back into a handsome prince that he longs to be. But do it fast before you notice he is a dud! LOL! (Note: All kisses will be accepted, no questions asked) - Steve

Nice angle...a bit blurry. Fun subject.

This seems to be way too noisy and the POV leaves something to be desired.

The frog is singing, but what does that have to do with Steve? Is sending a kiss by wire part of the song? If not, I just don't get it.

I am pretty sure charliebaker would understand this title.

Creative idea, but it seems slightly out-of-focus and the lighting seems a bit snapshot-ish. If you wanted to shoot this particular subject (i.e. the frog), it might have helped if you zoomed out slightly to include the whole frog and also changed your angle so that we can see more of the face. After doing so, some post-processing could have helped it "pop" a little more. For example, some Levels adjustments in Photoshop and maybe some dodging and burning could have helped draw the voters attention towards the subject and away from the background. But again, kudos on creativity though. :)
