Tree Frog Photo Session
My Buddy Tree Frog stopped by to entertain me today at closing time. Enjoy! All shot with the 50mm and EX-25 tube hand held.

Wonderful subject matter sir. I love number five, partly because of the bg color (the green frog looks great against that grey tone), partly because the head on pose works very well (in this case quite a bit more engaging than the side profile, almost looks like it's smiling!), and partly because the hairy skin is just plain creepy
 Very cool shot! |

Thanks! I got an appointment Monday evening for a leg waxing!
 I am adding two images. The first is a head on pose on my non hairy knuckles, the second is the leap of faith onto the lens! Sorry, I was struggling to get a focal lock! I then realized that ain't gonna happen, Idiot! The frog is along for the ride!

Nicely done. I'm drawn to the first couple of shots because of the contrast between the green of the frog and the red of the flower, but I really like the green on green of photo #4; but that just reflects my particular bias towards seeing wildlife in the sort of setting in which I'd expect to see them in the wild. And you can't beat a head-on shot for a frog....

Another vote for #4. Sharp focus on the subject and a naturalistic setting.
