cool shot! i hope this isn't getting overlooked in this super-sized challenge, and that you're getting good feedback. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!
I LOVE frog pictures. Nice take on this photo - having to "look" for the frog/toad. I also like that his eye is the focus point for the picture. I voted this a "6"
Nicely done - almost has a studio feel to the light. A little ( and I mean little - doesn't have to be Heida-esque) burning around the top right and bottom left of frame might have helped pull the attention more solidly to the toad/frog - and that stick is kind of a shame - it really imposes itself on the composition. I'm not suggesting you could have done anything about it - nevertheless, it has that impact. Good shot
