Needs more contrast (lol ain't that what camoflauge is supposed to do!) -- a tighter crop on the head and forelegs, or a lower shooting angle might have helped better separate the beast from his background.

Nice capture ... well composed, effective use of shallow DOF. This one beats your shooting buddy with the other frog and drink umbrella shot in the FS! Bumpin you up a notch to a 9

Perfect moment, great repetition of form, very nicely done. Hope this one hasn't been overlooked by the voters. Back to bump you up from an 8 to a 10. Good luck.

Great colors and processing. Looks like a Helicon Focus shot -- if not, that's some sharp lens you got there. 10

ETA - Would love to see the processing details on this one.

This will unfortunately get voted down due to the dust specks and hot lighting, but it is a fantastic and difficult image ... congrats for pressing the shutter at just the right moment to capture him in mid jump, kept him reasonably sharp for this kind of capture, and framed it so that you got the blurred farm and horizon line in the background. 8

(Unless, that is, you fooled me by gluing a dead bug to your windshield ...)
