Love it. What lens did you use for this? I raised some Western Chorus frogs (smaller than that toad...would probably fit well on a penny if not a dime) and tried doing pictures with them. Frogs don't make good models, they don't believe in holding still unless they are hidden. :) Besides, your toad has more personality in his face! Where did you get him?Sara #3235331

Jankes Julie, Kay and Sara.Sara - I used the 18-55 mm lens for this shot. He did hop away a few times and I had to chase him around my dining room... but once I started flashing he sat quite still for me! I found him in my backyard. I thought there was only one of 'em and then my daughter and her cousins found about 10 more so my yard is literally hopping with them. :) #3235585

Love this shot, Michelle! Since frogs are on the deline in this world, this may one day be a classic! Congrats on your finalist, though it was awhile ago! #3977421Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
