Just Let Me Sleep!

Even before I saw your title, Kim, my first thought was, "Could you just not get him to wake up?"

 

He must have been a very trusting frog. I wonder what his life expectancy is.

 

I like this picture a lot.

Very nice...great colors and light!

This is where the word GREEN cames from.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. He/she DID wake up a little later (I took lots of pictures), but I liked the angle, the lighting, and the shape of the leaves on this one.

I love this one. Even more than the angle and colors of the golden version. Great! Let's get you introduced to National Geographic.

I like the angle of the leaves on this one, too, Kim. I neglected to mention that.

 

By all means, let's get you some National Geographic credentials, so that you can go photograph bridges and get yourself involved in all kinds of sordid affairs, etc.

I agree with the guys Kim! It does look like a National Geographic shot. Another cute creature. Excellent composition!

Realy beautifull and I want to thank you for all those nice things you are saying,

Nice shot and good title.

Thanks to all of you for your comments. I'm just lucky I have the opportunity to get shots of these creatures. You don't always see such things in your front yard - in fact, in the five years we've lived here, this was the one and only time!

Everything leads to you main subject well done.

Got lucky with where the frog was sleeping - the leaves and lighting were a bonus. Thanks for visiting, Tony.

Really nicely done work.

Thanks, Kurt. Appreciate your time.

Dear Kim, if this was the one and only time the merit is even greater. I love the quietness environment that you achieve.

Kim, what a peaceful image! Nice compsition!

Thanks, Carlos & Robert. Glad to see people appreciate pictures of these fascinating little creatures!

More great work from the Lizard Lady! Really nice DOF, composition, and color. Regards.

Thanks, Ken. I don't mind being known as the Lizard Lady, although it brings to mind scaly, green skin!

OH YES.

Great job to see this and capture!

Thanks, Max and Rajeev. Guess I'm going to have to print this one for the next Camera Club meeting!

I love...

 

the light,

the clarity of the frog,

the softly blurred background,

the sweep of the leaves...

 

But mostly, that it made me instantly coo, "Awwww!"  I'm fascinated with frogs, and this one looks so sweet! Thank you for this picture.

Good details and angle of light. Being a monochrome with close tonalities is less appealing, however. Regards.

Kim, there's a similar picture in the book "Wildlife Photographer of the Year", 1994, a British publication, which received honorable mention or some equivalent category. However, it didn't have the pleasing background that yours does. Very nice work.
