Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Flora and Macro Gallery, week ending 26th March, 2010!Hi all,

It's quick and dirty. The Toads came back to life again after a long winter. Amazing to see so many at once,
but it was hard to capture them in the dark with little time. It's a bit out of the box, but I will give it a try.

Nikon D700, Sigma 180 F3.5, ISO3200!, F4.0, 1/125s.

Greetings, Andrew George

I like this. It is different, but very effective. The silhouette and the golden glow compliment the subject nicely. Even the little lens flare gives this some energy. Well seen and captured.

Original and creative, lots of impact. Maybe a bit of light reflected light on the shadow side to reveal what you are seeing better. Striking as is.

Nice golden outline of the toad that you;ve captured. The directional light also works very well. Very innovative and well captured image!
