The centered composition and single color don't keep my interest or take me to any one element of this image.

This is just excellent. Maybe not for the challenge voters, but the actual shot of the bug is perfect. If it is cropped, I would have probably tried to leave more space on the right side , moving the subject bug so that it appeared to be moving into the shot.
That's great timing and quick focusing to get such a fine shot on an airborne insect. I shoot some like this too, and it is sort of a crap shoot to get a good one like this.

The markings are amazing. Frogs are so diverse. I like the way this shot brings out the blue markings.

It looks like you have been island hopping. I hope to get out to the Abacos again soon. Thanks for the nice thought for the day.

Wow, what an exceptional job of bringing out the best of the original image! Your model is a knockout as well. It's a great talent you have, to be able to see this in the shot that you started with, and to be able to bring it to this level of quality as a finished image.

This looks like my kind of tradition! The activity and the POV puts the viewer right into the scene.
Now I'm hungry.

NIce crop to get the POV for this, and the HDR is just enough without being too overpowering for the scene. It's an inviting looking place, esp in the finished image that makes it look like the cabin could be miles from the nearest neighbor.
