[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a young treefrog (hyla arborea). The juveniles leave the water around the 15th of July. When I went tho a pond where they occur, the whole grass vegetation was filled with crawling young treefrogs. This one decided to rest on a grass twig. It's size is only 1,5 cm. Imagine what the size of this grass plant must be for this little froggy...

Hi Jacob!
I like this youngster fellow for it's cute phisiognomy and for the sharpness of the body details.
Regards!

Hoi Jacob, prachtige opname. Ik vind the blur om de kikker erg mooi, alle aandacht richt zich nu op het oog. En wat een geluk om deze zo tegen te komen. Complimenten!!!

Beautiful composition, colours and DOF-POV
Excellent macro

Hoi Jacob,
Wat een pracht dit kikkertje. Heel mooi vastgelegd. Goede, niet storende achtergrond en een mooie compositie.
Puntje van kritiek is de scherpte. Wat mij betreft zou die wat dieper mogen liggen zodat je nog meer van de kikker kon zien. Niettemin een mooie plaat.
Groet, Ruud

Hi Jacob,
What a cute little chap...all alone on the leaf of grass.Has a bit of a sad expression on his face....or maybe a touch bored!Great detail of the eye and head.The shallow DOF so important because of the blending colours. Well done!

Hello Jacob

Nice work here.The DOF is very good.I really like the colours and how the treefrog stands out from the lovely blurred BG.Very nice detail in the eye area.Good textures too.TFS

Hi Jacob,
This is a great capture! I like this original pose and those great details you caught. This composition and POV are very beautiful and I like those colors, DOF and BG a lot. This is a very nice post. Thanks,
Claudine

Tree frogs do make great subjects, and this one is very nice. Extremely sharp in the right places, although I think it could improve with a slightly wider DOF, just to give us a tiny bit of the grass he is sitting on in focus, and more of the body in focus.

Hi Jacob

I'm a bit behind with my critique due to some internet problems, so i only got to this one todey.
It's a true beauty! The shallow DOF works soooo well! Basicly we don't see and know anything besides the frog in this shot! Great work!
The POV is excellent and the sharpness is impecable.
Very good work!

Bravo and TFS

This is a lovely looking frog. Lovely POV, details and colours. I love the relaxed pose. Good DOF

Hoi Jacob,
Prachtig genomen zo mooi zittende op deze grasspriet. De scherpte en de kleuren zijn erg mooi. Wel ben ik het eens met het commentaar over de scherpte diepte. Maar ik vindt dit ook wel wat hebben, het geeft de kop de gehele aandacht.
Groeten,
Niek
