Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

G'day all,

I went to Brisbane Forest Park after work yesterday to chill out and take some portraits of a Green Tree frog. Took this shot while I was at it, just for fun.

Used a D100, Nikon 105mm 2.8 macro, 24mm extension tube, SB 29 macro flash. Settings were ISO 200, f22 and 125th sec. No cropping.

I'm curious what you may think of this one.

Cheers

Michael

Beautiful shot and good idea to get "so close"... Frame it a bit tighter and it would be hard to know it's a frog! It's amazing how its retina is absolutely dark, it contrasts nicely with the eye and skin colour.

Very nice of Mr Frog to sit still for you like that :)

Great DOF and very sharp, composition works for me. The only thing I'd change is to add a bit of 'oomph' in PP, bring out the gold in the eye and green skin. Other than that, great shot.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Byrt - thanks

Patrick - shall muck around with PP and try and bring green and gold out a bit.

Speaking of green and gold, maybe this guy could be a mascot for tomorrow mornings World cup match between the Aussies and Brazil! :P :wink:

Cheers
