Nice selective focus that brings all the attention to that eye. Are you sure this is not a grey treefrog? Wood frogs have a "robbers mask".

Cool shot. Very moody and I love the nearly monochrome look. Terrific shot.

Have to love the perspective Tom and the pose is fantastic !!!. Very clean earthy tones in this and the selective focus is BANG ON !!. Our M8tess is swamped with frogs, one of them has to work M8t :D

All the best Tom and 10D.........are we waiting for a 30D or just aiming at something more ???
Happy new year my friend.
