Creatures of the garden

[Bibos]

Hello again,
this little frog posed for me for a few minutes before he jumped away into the deep shadows of the high grass in my garden yesterday night.

Shot with
Canon EOS 350D
Canon Speedlite 420 EX Flash
Canon 55-200 USM Lens
f/5.6
1/60

What do you think? Comments and Critique appreciated. Tear it apart!

That is some interesting DOF here!
And the light must have been brilliantly golden yesterday night!
And with the Canon EOS 350D you MUST photograph frogs, if I understand the TV ad for this camera right that we have on German TV.

Oh, by the way: hallo and welcome to the Forum from Germany, and do you happen to have that same ad on your TV where towards the end this guy jumps up and down in that empty swimming pool to make the frog jump and then take its picture?

Very nice, great focus and depth of field, well composed as well. It allmost looks like he is poseing for you, nice work, welcome aboard.

I love the way his eyes pop out at ya and the clear focus of his face. Great job with the dof!!! Very nice capture!! Welcome to the forums too!! : )

Excellent control of the dof! His head looks great, if slightly freaky! :shock:

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome and for the nice words about the photo.

I personally like the DOF as well, I think the eyes wander straight to his head when looking at the photo, just as it should be.

@LaFoto: hello there No I've never seen this ad yet, but I should have - I'm only watching German Television, PRO7 being my favourite channel.
