The Fly, the Frogs, and the Agave.

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.

Rel.... or anyone else..... do you have any idea as to the ID of the first frog? Same size and shape as the normal sedge frogs, however it's brown all over with a few small dark spots on it's back?

Mark

I'm surpised no one has commented on these yet!

The first shot is nicely done - the different angle appeals and there is plenty of detail in the eyes as well. The last shot by contrast is very soft, almost dreamy, and that works extremely well with the subject. Well done.

Well these are insanely good I reckon.. The Frog shots are awesome for their clarity/comp/colours. I really like #4 also, for the creamy dark green's..

cheers Pehpsi. I'm a sucker for the last one for it's simplicity... but the second frog does remind me of when I say "paw... paw...." to my dog :)
