Saw this strange outline in the mud one day, under a thin sheet of ice. It was difficult to get a shot of him without my reflection. I like the way it looks like an abstract painting.

:O I only just noticed this picture was a frog! Okay, now I feel really stupid. You should have really put some more contrast in to get the full effect of the Froggie. :)
I really like the textures and the outlines, the lighting isnt great, needs more contrast and some colour. A reflection of the sun would have looked great in this photo. But good effort, and I'm sure you'll improve. (:
HMM... there isn\'t a lot going on in this photo. The textures are interesting, but the colours are flat and dull. With a bit more contrast, and some experiments with different exposures, I think you could have achieved something interesting, but this doesn\'t really get there.
Updated - I didn't see the frog until I looked at the thumbnail after I finished voting, and it suddenly appeared! I don't think it'll change my vote though, because the flaws I saw initially still stand.
poor froggy. Definately looks untouched by man. Not a overly exciting shot, but I think it has some photojournalistic, or documentary aspcets. the lighting on the subject appears good, I wonder if the lighting was a bit harsher if there would be some shadow to help bring out the shape? maybe like a side light or something. Something to try at least. Great find. Good luck in the challenge.
Very interesting subject you've got here. The contrast could be boosted a bit to bring out the form and relief I think. I know this is a challenging image to capture and I like it...just wondering about that contrast. Nice job.
Dig him up and thaw him out - he might live. This is vry unique and comes through very clearly with the exception of all of his left legs. But I can definitely tell what it is, or isn't anymore. I like it but don't think it will do well here. To me it's an 8. PTL
Surprising, but I can see the outline of the frog better in the smaller view. Interesting idea, but to me, it needed more light to show off the frog better.

There is really not enough here to engage the eye. The color is dull and I can't tell if it's in focus or not - because there's really nothing to focus on.
challenge -- met
composition -- i like how you closely cropped in on the subject
technical -- hard to see what i'm looking at because there's not much tonal/color range and no easily distinguishable borders
overall impression -- this one actually works better in the thumbnail. i'm intrigued by the photo a lot and hope you put some more descriptions with it that i can read on monday. however, as a photo, i wish it was a little more obvious what i'm looking at. i have no idea if that was possible or not.
