Great picture! You really seem to have captured the moment here...I wish the head was a tad bit more in focus, though...

Great shot of a bird in flight! I wish the head didn't get lost in the wing as much but I realize that some things are out of the photographer's control...

I think this shot is great...I just wish that the lettering wasn't covering up the lip of the bottle. The distortion just under the bottle is also a little distracting.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I was trying to focus your attention on the face and eyes through the direction of the frogs body, leaf placement, and depth of field. I think that the slightly brighter level in the upper left corner does pull one's eyes away. It was fun and my best rated photo yet!

I would like to see more of these longer challanges as I really do not have the time during the week to participate in the weekly challanges as much...

Oh, if you are interested...the common name of this frog is the "Tiger-Legged Monkey Frog" or the "Barred Leaf Frog". They are not poisonous and use their brightly colored flash markings to attempt to startle any would be predators...

I love the mechanics exposed in this image....I think having the entire image in focus would add some more drama to this image...

I love the way the ring frames the scene...some of the shadows in the foreground may be a little distracting...
