Edited it a little to bump up the colors.

Cool! This is a very nice composition, and I think you made a good decision by intensifying the colors.

I have only two suggestions, and they are minor, because I think this is a very nice photograph and there isn't a ton that I would change.

Firstly, and it's hard to tell because of the size of the photo, I would like to see the frog more in focus. It looks like you might have used an automatic and gotten "stuck" a little farther back? In any case, he seems just a tiny bit unfocused to me, and since he is in so much shadow it is a little hard to distinguish him.

I also don't like, compositionally, that your subject is smack in the middle. It seems to me as though you have a beautiful dark background (lower left-hand corner) to work with, and I would have loved to see the whole image shifted to expose a little more of that. I think since you've blown out the white just a little this would be very effective.

Actually, I lied. One more suggestion =)

The orange part of the flower doesn't need to be entirely visible. I think this picture would be more interesting if you cropped it to partially truncate the orange bit. As-is, it seems a little unbalanced, and it draws away from the subdued image of the frog.

Keep shooting! This is fantastic!

Hello! I really love this piece, I think the name is excellent. A couple of things though:

One, the orange piece of the flower draws away from the frog and acts like its the subject.

Two, like Shepherd, I think that if you took this at a kind of of set angle. All in all though this is a very good piece and you do have great potential.

Wow, this is really beautiful. I just feel that you have more than one subjects. I'm pretty sure its the green tree frog, but the vibrancy of the middle of the flower seems to compete with it. But I also liked how you used the closeup to make it seem more bright. Good job!

Hey there!

Just wanted to say that this is a really cute picture! I love the cute little frog poking out. It seems like the orange in the flower is way brighter than the frog, which makes it seem like the frog isn't as pretty. Overall, it is a lovely picture, and quite pleasing to the eye. I also think it's slightly humorous, because the little frog seems to be thinking "I didn't do it!"

Anyways, lovely picture.
