 This frog was sleeping on a leaf of a tree in broad daylight at the compound in Palm Bay Florida. I took dozens of photo's while he slept peacefully.

I chose this photo because it needed considerable work to correct all of the imperfections. Both the frog and the leaf had many flaws that I was hoping to fix. I considered it to be more of a photo shop learning experience than a high scoring photo and I enjoyed the challenge.

I like this photo a lot. The color of the leaf complements the frog very nicely.

I am Yogi hear me (Roar)! JK!! I like your shallow depth of field. I would've liked to see more of the frog in detail but this looks nice. -BB

Ha Ha Ha love the title. I have a bunch of these guys around my house hanging around my windows and doors. You really have a nice crisp focus on the eyes. Your processing makes this guy/girl look better than they do in real life. Did not realize they had some nice textures and that there eyes have that nice warm golden look. I guess I will have to look at them more closely.

What a dreamy frog shot! I love the way he is sleeping, using the leaf as his bed. :) The focus is wonderful and the tones are pleasing.

CUTE. I could have shot it from a different angle so we are looking into his face and not over it. :~)
