A Frog

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.

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.

Matt,

I swear that, as the image came up, he blinked at me.

Wonderful stuff, and nice legs ... lunch, anyone?

Excellent shot Mudder

We don't seem to see green frogs around here any more. Cane toads could be the reason

You are obviously enjoying yourself!

Matt - I like what you have shot but I have to ask the question - is the frog real?

There is just something about it that makes me believe it is a model - a nice one tho’

Cheers

Thanks Matt - it is so perfectly posed that I thought it might be ceramic.

Your bugs sound like the Newcastle Mozzie.

Heard this story when I first came to Oz - I was told the Newcastle mozzie was so strong that during the night they would blindly fly into the water tank outside your home and in the morning you would have to get a truck to move it back home as it could be up to a mile away!!!!!

Or the guy caught in a hail storm in his car, and when the storm passed he had to get out of the car and lift it on top the hail before he could drive away!!!

Or the guy who went to an agricultural show with a bowl of fruit to exhibit and when he asked someone where to put it they said the tomatoes are over there to which he replied - but they are cherries!!!!

Just love this country

Cheers
