This is what I normally look like after Christmas - a rotund Madagascar Rain Frog (Scaphiophryne madagascariensis).

The colors are wonderful, so is the light and composition.

Ah Ah!!! What a funny comment.

I love how the light illuminates the frog and part of the leaf remains in shadow.

I think you're being too hard on yourself, Des...... But we all let go a little bit at Christmas time. :)   A lovely view of this chubby little chap with beautiful detail and colours.

Great coloration and lighting to bring out his texture. After reading your text and looking at the frog I checked my freezer to be sure my Haagen Dazs was still there.........
