Thanks, Daniel. You're probably right. I have a tendency toward that. *sigh*

Naj... ummm.. no... Just take opportunities as they come. :) This one was hanging out near the horses when I was feeding them. Snagged him ... then let him go. He was nice, but... He put his feet on me. NOT cool.

Thats a cool creepy critter Lydia. You seem to have an inexhaustible supply of 'ingredients'. Do you live near Eastwick perchance? :-) -Najinsky

Wonderfully clean and very well composed image, Lydia! (If my eyesight does not fail, the "hopper" might admit a tad--just a tad--more sharpening?) -- db.

Gee.... Tough crowd! LOL! Don't you folks know that it's heavy Fall here?

*sigh*

I'll see what I can do... but I haven't seen a frog in a while... *sigh again* ~Lydia

Another of your excellent images Lydia. I'm expecting a frog masterpiece though. Regards, Michael

Splendidly done, Lydia. I need to add that 100mm macro to my Christmas wish list! :-)

Really nice. He does have a smile and so do I looking at him. Please tell me you used a tripod! (I just can't take pictures this sharp without one) -dtallakson

Thanks, Troy and Sharon!

Sharon, was that my left hand or my right hand that convinced you? *grin* Actually, this can be done without a light tent quite easily with a white paper curved up for no background line (I used posterboard). The light tent will only help contain the little cutie when he jumps. Often. *sigh* ~Lydia

Wow, you're really good at this, Lydia! He's lovely - in his own way. YOu have single-handedly convinced me that I need to get a light tent! ~Sharon

Good One Lydia. I like the white background.
