Thanks, Frank. This is of course an image from an aquarium display. I have seen a few of these on the reef, but they are extremely difficult to spot, and almost impossible to photograph in the water. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 8:15 PM,

Very cool! What surface is it walking on? Almost looks like a mattress or something? Whatever it is I think it really adds to the photo - not so strong as to distract but visible enough to be a subtle yet interesting element. Very good photo but two little nits: Might crop a bit off the top and

Thanks, Frank. I like the photo, but is it far from what I want it to be. I posted it here for comments, so I could get some ideas of how to make it stronger before I put a lot more time into it. There are a few things about the image that make it hard to work with: It was taken early in the4

Dan, nice looking frog, but if it were me I'd not put any more time into it. You already stated what weakens it: soft and noisy. So I'd just set it aside and get another shot, particularly under better lighting conditions. Now if it was the last frog shot you were ever going to get, the last

Thanks, Bruce, for looking, and for your very helpful comments. You are right; it is not such a valuable image that I should spend a lot of time on it, but I need the practice, so perhaps I will anyway, as a learning exercise. While this is not the last frog in the world, or the last of its
