Weak opposeNeutral - he has his eyes closed, and the green leaf behind is exactly the same colour, which reduces the utility of the image in an article. The closed eye is the biggest defect though.

Weak Oppose. The frog seems to be saying:"AAA, my eyes, that flash is too bright!". Other than that, it's just not a very impressive image. --

OK, let me rephrase that, I don't like the lighting. I didn't really mean to refer to weather his pupils are dialated or not. --

Comment The problem with using natural lighting is when you photograph a frog you want to have the highest shutter speed possible so no blurring occurs, when you take a photo with natural light even when it is a very bright day you will have to drop the shutter speed so that the picture isn't under exposed, this will usually cause blurring on the image, I could use a tripod but most of the time when you are taking frog pictures, either the ground is too bumpy or the frog is in a place where you can't use a tripod, eg you want to take a photo of the side of a frog and it is on the ground. If you used a tripod you would be taking a picture of the top of the frog.

Fwiw, my tripod can take photos about 5cm off the ground. Of course, its maximum height is only 20cm, so I wouldn't recommend it as your *only* tripod :) You have my sympathies though.

Support. Looked quite ordinary as a thumbnail but it's quite amazing in full res. Great depth of field (ok, so it's daylight) and superb detail and has species identified and all that. I'm not sure how the green leaf could possibly be confused for the frog.. The line between them is very clear. —

I didn't say they could be confused, but the leaf is certainly distracting being the same colour and right behind the frog.

Support I agree with Pengo on this. Although it is not the best pose, it is a very nice photo. The eye is especially beautiful. --

Support. This is a nice frog, however the pose of the frog makes it look more lanky than it actually is. The standouts of the photo are the eye and leg colouration.--
