One of the most awesome frogs I've ever seen - Malaya Bug-eyed Frog (Theloderma leprosum). Malaysia. It looks quite similar to Theloderma horridum that I've seen before, only much bigger.

#1 is a great image. Eye contact, sharpness, colour and composition all excellent. Interesting to see other parts of the frog too.
