I looked at this photo for a while wondering if the frog was real ;-) its nice and sharp, but i wish the frog was more prominent in the photo.

agree with justin, you could have created a really Dali-esque photo with a close up of the frog, the metal bird and trying to exclude the railings in the background

Of course i'd take this photo first then try for something diffrent and closer in case it hops away.
I was photographing a lizard yesterday got a few from a distance but when i got closer it ran away, but at least i got some photos!

nice shot! very surreal, with a frog just sitting there like that.

agree with the others about background seperation though. although my main concern is that big green patch of grass in the background - it really draws the eye away from the frog imo.

so that end, selected him and the sculpture with magnetic lasso, then applied filter/blur/lensblur to the background. then desaturated it. cropped a bit tighter and applied a little sharpening. hope you like :)

Nice work adrian. I like your revision heaps. No one needs to know what the background was and thus wouldn't know its been blurred or desaturated!
