Portrait of a frog*

Had to participate. Very limited time. Took what I had at hand:
My son's green rubber frog against the bright red metal-siding of the building across the street.
Shot in the window sill, window open, natural light only (overcast and grey day). Didn't take too long...

Wow, thanks Angela and Roberta! I realized I had shot this in AdobeRGB and assigned sRGB as I opened it in photoshop. Therefore I did the postprocessing over again, and now the colors are more true to life. When I updated the image you had both commented in the meantime. Thanks for your comments! Roberta, I will experiment with your shadow idea if I find the time. --Olaf

Olaf, I like the lighting on the frog, the red background, and the placement of the frog. (*)Shadows underneath and to the right of the frog would add dimension and help ground the frog/create more of a setting. Roberta

Well done! Love the soft light on the frog, and great contrasting color use! -- angela :)
