Fantastic moment and a very cooperative model. I really like the black background that makes the frog stand out so well and the soft green "umbrella" above it that echoes the shape of the frog. Tremendous shot.
Cheers,
Ron

Thank you all for your comments. Actually, it was only a lucky snapshot. Tommy, this would not qualify in eligible even if it would have been shot during the challenge period because of the lens (Sigma 18-200 mm at 112 mm). -Gerald

Wow! I have never seen the underside of a frog's hand before. Who knew? I especially like the way you framed the frog against the darker part of the background and the wonderful sharpness in your subject. - CameraShy09

Striking photograph by any standard. Too bad it anticipated the challenge by a couple of weeks... -tv

That is beautiful! Fantastic greens, and it does look as if he's listening for something, maybe the buzzing of a fly :) Jim H.

That is indeed an impressive looking frog... and I also immediately thought of that famous Star Wars creature, who must surely have been modelled on this chap! Beautifully captured!
