Fantastic image Mitch! #1280551

Nikki McDonald level-classic June 20, 2010

Super capture, Mitch -- love that I can just make out his hind legs and feet through the leaf. Terrific eye contact and detail and the composition is excellent. Wouldn't be surprised to see him right up there with Suspense next month. #8706207

Such fine detail Mitch, with the placement of the little frog just right. I also like how the reeds in the BG
differ in their direction, that adds to the design! #8708845

Linda, I am so impressed that you're ordering a frog of your very own and, on top of that, even getting it delivered. I liked the overall comp of this one, but you're right, it would be fun to see how it looks a bit closer too. Well, shoot, now I want my own frog too. :))) #8769654
