Oh, AWESOME, Lydia! I thought the froggie might be yours -- but this is very worthy of the Lydia signature too :)

This one actually looks like a Coca-Cola ad. Well done and best in show IMO

Comment by Louis:
The issue for me is that it's just too underexposed. The lighting is otherwise lovely, nice and soft, highlighting the softness of her features wonderfully, but it's just too dark for me. Not lit well enough to fully appreciate, skillfully set up though the lighting is. The portion of the backdrop behind her face that's lit nicely shows off the softness of her profile. I understand size restrictions, but a tighter crop could have resulted in a larger image and thus one with more impact (did you consider square crop?). This could have been great. Sorry, only 6. :-(

I like the picture and the title. Is the frog's (lower) mouth a little blurry, or is that just me?
