Wonderful froggy Harvey - superbly sharp and detailed

Good choice to go to such a low angle as it makes the car not obvious at all. Cool shot!

Terrific image and a great angle.

This is excellent Harvey -- great low angle and I really like the green/white/green color pattern in the smooth background.

Excellent as usual Harvey. Thanks for posting. Wouldnt not have known it was a car top due to very nice use of selective DOF.. Well done.

Well done Harvey. The stuff that falls out of the sky and lands on my car is never this cute.!

Great shot. I like the green background.

It sure nice to find wildlife right in your yard to photograph. Although my moose have about 1000 pounds on your frog and don't sit quite so still.
