* Whats that!!?? A mutant? Looks like a frog combined with a lizzard and a dinosaur. Great colours buy the way.[reply]Erik @ 2006-05-01 09:04:51
* Great shot! You've captured so much detail. What kind of frog is this?[reply]Heath @ 2006-05-01 09:12:51
* I just knew you guys would demand his first name and I forgot to ask him ! All I can remember is his second name was either Frog or Toad.[reply]AG @ 2006-05-01 10:17:20
* I love the humor in your titles and quotes :-)! I know this is a frog/ toad, but the facial expression reminds me very much of the "Teenage Mutent Ninja Turtles" ;-). Excellent DOF and details.[reply]Ella @ 2006-05-01 13:08:19
* The expression is priceless! What a capture.[reply]Michael @ 2006-05-01 13:31:29
* I was going to use the word âsmugâ for that expression, Michael. And, hey, see this definition of the word I just came across :

âthe smug look of a toad breakfasting on fat marsh fliesâ (William Pearson).

Oh, how I wish Iâd found that before ![reply]AG @ 2006-05-01 14:04:36
* Ella, thanks for the kind remarks. I do try to keep this site âout of the darkroomâ and using quotes and snappy titles is one way of doing that now and then. I really appreciate your interest.[reply]AG @ 2006-05-01 14:19:59
* Looks like you woke him up for this shot, excellent catch![reply]micki @ 2006-05-02 02:17:56
* No, Micki, he cultivates that sleepy look to fool the flies : often, the last foolinâ they ever get. Thanks for stopping by.

* Wow, the little fella looks angry...or busy. Nice capture.[reply]Pavel @ 2006-05-03 22:45:50
* I reckon thatâs contentment ! Thanks for stopping by, Pavel.[reply]AG @ 2006-05-04 01:48:42
* Wonderful macro shot. The focus is spot on. I really like his expression, hehe.[reply]AirBete @ 2006-05-17 22:25:56
* Thank you, AirBete. I must admit he does look very self-satisfied.[reply]AG @ 2006-05-17 22:52:44
* Goodness gracious me.....lovely detail.[reply] Jide Alakija @ 2006-05-18 10:39:36
* Thanks, Jide. People keep finding this shot in a browse . . I must go back and take some more . . I bet he hasnât moved . . lol . . [reply]AG @ 2006-05-18 11:24:37
* the colors reflecting off his eyelid are brilliant, what an odd little creature[reply]shane j montgomery @ 2006-05-21 18:11:16
* Adorable little fella, this one. Thanks, Shane.[reply]AG @ 2006-05-21 21:59:55
* John Constable ("I never saw an ugly thing in my life....") probably never saw this little guy.

On the other hand the lighting is superb, the colors wonderful, DOF outstanding. Maybe John did see him. You certainly did the green fellow justice.[reply]Jeff @ 2006-05-29 20:43:15
* Thanks, Jeff. Beauty is a difficult quality to define . . to me, this little fella is beautiful . . lol . . [reply]AG @ 2006-05-29 21:18:51
