    Re: Frog

    Well I definitely like the bigger frog better

    While I can't make any changes here, I would say that, in general (95% of the time), you should shoot from any subject's level. Whether it's people, frogs, bugs, plants, houses, motorcycles, cars .... the subjects almost always look "natural" when shot from their point of view.

    So receive your initiation here by rolling around on the ground with them

    I'm with loupey, a lower shooting angle would make this toad look even better.

    Re: Frog

    another trick with something so easy as a toad, is to actualy move the toad to a good background ( not that this one is bad) just more natural. moss is usually a really good background. that and moving lower would make it a very good shot.

    Re: Frog

    Thanks for the ideas everyone! This toad and many other were rescued from a swimming pool last fall (the pool had been drained, but there was rain water in it) I took this one and others and tried to put them on a nearby "background" to try to get better pics of them. I will try getting down to their level on the next batch. Dang frogs keep jumping in the pool I love frogs, so I will keep recusing them from the dreded pool.
