| My absolute favorite photo from this site. The colors, the subject, the simple absurdity of a frog in a spoon... I'm crazy about it! He's too cute! |

| Yay for frogs! How'd you get it not to hop? |

| Yeah, -hangs head-, sorry I didn't realize it was real. As I mentioned in my PM to Rackat I just assumed a frog-like being with those colourings would be too poisonous to use as a subject, so therefore it couldn't possibly be real. It is a really great photo though. |

This is a well deserved win.
Curious as to why you haven't shared your setup/technique, most of us would like to learn from this photo.
Thanks. |
|
|
|
11/20/2002 03:45:00 AM |
| Yes, I'd really like to see the technique to get the great colour background! |
|
|
|
11/18/2002 09:08:00 PM |
| Id really like to see a setup shot on this, maybe one taken back several feet to get good idea how this was done. Always looking to learn as much as I can. I enjoy showing setups and sharing the know how. thanks! :) |

| Great photo. Super colors. I'm a newbie here, but I thought the rules said you couldn't doctor the photo. I had Oriental Fire Bellied Toads before. They didn't have red toes or that pattern on their chest. It was basically orange on the belly, no pattern. Is this a new type, or is it ok to play with colors? |
|
|
|
11/18/2002 06:58:00 PM |
| Wow....Wow is all I can say! Extremely well/professionally executed. The background color works very well (especially the color variation). This toad definately has modelling aspirations! Very well deserved! |

since it is a real frog, is it more awesome that it was to start with?

I wanna know what gracechild thinks now... since it is a real frog, is it more awesome that it was to start with?
Rackat, excellent shot :) |

| Congratulations! Just like the rest of your photos this is supurb. Your colorful backgrounds are always so perfect! I see that I'm not the only one wanting to know how you get your backgrounds so perfect. Please share your secret. (I don't think you'll have anybody debating the worthiness of your win this week! |

Congradulations on the great winning photo! Excellent! I'm also interested in how you did it. I read your comments. You could give some of us amateurs some pointers. It looks like you had top right and lower left lighting.
But I was also wondering what you used to hold the spoon and how you did the gradient background? I know that background can be done with software but how did you do it without software? |
|

11/18/2002 08:14:00 AM |
| Congrats! I loved this shot the best. I cant even imagine how the hell 2 people gave you a 1 on this. A 10 from me by the way. Great job! |

| Thank you very kindly to everyone that took the time to comment! A couple of you thought this little guy was not real and referred to a white line in the photo. I was really stumped for a while about this and then I finally saw what I now believe to be a dog hair. He stays mainly in the water and gets pretty sticky when he starts to dry. He would tolerate shooting for about 2 minutes then off the spoon he'd hop, sometimes landing not quite on all fours. I would then pick the debris from the carpet off his sticky skin, and shoot for a couple more minutes before I put him up....guess I missed a hair and never noticed it in the shot. Amandolin, you are right! I was wondering if anyone would notice! He is actually an Oriental Fire Bellied Toad, but for title purposes he became a frog for the week. |

11/17/2002 01:40:00 PM |
| That's pretty expressive for a frog. Have you thought about getting him an audition for a Bud commercial? |

11/14/2002 07:31:00 AM |
| Nice shot, I have some doubts on the choice of background, does not do justice to this frog. |

| Love the toes. Who painted the toenails? Wild colors. Weird eye. Great way to indicate the size. Wouldn't have thought of that myself. Great idea. Wild back background but it sure goes with this dude. Great picture. He's a good 8 PTL |

| Lovely frog and great shot, one of my favourites this week! IMHO it would be better with a less colourful or black background. This could highlight the nice colours of the frog, especially his red 'fingertips'. The colourful background is a little bit distracting from this detail. Nevertheless I voted 10. Good luck - nds |

Good photo. The colours seem extremely bright. I'm not sure if that's a problem or just down the true colours of the frog and background.
I think I'd prefer it if everything were a little higher in the frame. Not too sure where the frog doing the eating comes in though! 9/10 |
