Frog Portraits - HDR

10 or so frogs returned to our pond as they do every year a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd get a few shots of them before they took off again! Here's three of them, I can't believe how unique they all are!

Really beautiful shots - that catch light in the pupil is fantastic, and the detail is superb. Very cool subject, the images really bring out the specular quality of the textured body surface and the eyes, again, are terrific.

Thanks for sharing,

Thank you!

They were great to work with, and believe it or not they not only all had different appearances, but also very different characters.

Thank you!

Here's a couple more in semi-b+w/sepia if you're interested:

im feeling the sepia tone alot

Thanks, that's good to hear. I just wanted to keep some variation in the shots - it's easy for a series like this to get very boring and repetitive, so I'm glad you like the sepia!
