I must be weird, everyone else likes the greens, I am not a fan. Too much competition from that background green. For me, it just doesn't seem to gel. I've heard that men see green different than women, maybe that is it. :)
Beyond that though, everything else is terrific. The way you framed the frog is nice. I also like the textures going on here. Exposure is great. It is a terrific shot though. Your eye goes aroudn the whole frame smoothly. Nice job on the placement and a well deserved score!
Kelli, Your zoo shots are so amazing. The green color and the diagonal postion are great. Your subject-the frog-is in focus. The branch in front is softly focused but that is part of a shallow depth of field and is fine with me.
I was quite taken with this shot - I love the sense of the frog curled up in all that green - it gives me a cozy feeling for some reason. I think this is a very good photo indeed, just a very tough challenge. You should be proud of a great capture like this!
So close to a 6, really deserved one I think for this shot. Maybe you hit the camera's limits with the sharpness as focus looks on to me and the bokeh fits nicely and blends well.
You and I must be on the same wavelength or something - seems I'm always taken with your shots in challenges. Composition is very good with the strong diagonal and the green bokeh in the background is perfect for this shot. Not quite a new PB but a new top row entry and a pleasing one to have there, too.
WOW! Super shot... I like the tones you used here with all of the greens. Very nice. Nice details in this image. Cute little fella. Good luck with the challenge!!!
