I didn’t realize the little guy was so small!

Love the second last one, nicely composed and great colour, sharpness etc etc. Looks like you have this frog thing down pat. :wink:

All taken with the 90mm Tamron im guessing?

#4 #5 and second last are my picks Tim. Lovely work on the frog series. Super sharp and lovely compositions. I think #5 with the frogs leg up is a great behavioural shot. I'm wondering if a couple of the shots could have done with a second light source backlighting the frog may have added the depth needed to make the shots a little more 3D
cheers

as a single image the frame works, but as a collective range of shots the frames are too heavy

Nice. Like #9 - it has good composition, but some of the pics seem a bit under.
