Give me three!

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.

Apologies in advance for yet another frog photo. But with the wet weather around, and my garden thriving, they are in plague proportions.

This is a Litoria fallax, the Eastern Sedgefrog. Approximate length of 2cm.

Hope you enjoy, and C&C very welcome.

cheers

Super macro mate, the amount of detail you have wrung out of this, incredible stuff and another gorgeous model to boot!
Do you do TFP or do you pay them in flies ?

Mark,

I love the detail you have got here, especially in the hand. The background is superb, too. Only minor nit is that it would have been nice if you could have extended the depth of field a tad more to include the nose.

thanks Craig and ATJ.

Craig... they weren't interested tfp, so I said i would throw the odd bug in after shooting them :)

ATJ... yeh, that's the problem I have with the shot. Tried and tried to get him/her to look at me, but he/she just kept on jumping away. There are plenty of frogs in my garden, so I'll just keep shooting them until they start to be a bit more helpful :D :D
