In #1 I would have probably like to have had just a bit more of the background (you almost lost his toes) other than that really nice shot.

#2 with the natural light making shadows just takes away from it. I have thousands of shots like this. Not always easy to look and adjust at the time. Or try not to scare critters with a reflector easier said than done with wild ones. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thank You wonkytripod, I will look into using a reflector mor often.

Here us the secret: compose, shoot, view and adjust. Too light/ dark, make adjustments(exposure compensation, add light etc.). Repeat if necessary.

Thanks CrispColors, I will readdress my shooting procedures.

I am no expert, i am a rookie myself. I think both look focused good. I like the second better it has something, background behind it. If you could focus it in a little. I think from what i have learned the f stop helps with that. I hope im not leading you wrong. Other than that they look nicely done.

Thanks Racin, I will take your suggestions to heart

I think the first one is really nice! The second one, as you know, has a problem with shadows and I think the frog should be smiling!
