Hello Grzegorz

Excellent macro and very funny idea. Really good sharpness and very nice colours. And yes, it does bring some good memories from the film.

I took the liberty to make a WS adding some more "look a like" the environment from the film and make it look even more like Saurons Eye - please forgive me but I could not help it.

Regards
Mogens

This shot is certainly an eyeful!

Brilliant creativity in finding a different way to photograph Joe Frog.

Pin sharp, rich colours and great composition showing both your skill and attention to detail in taking the shot and in PP.

Congrats on this one Grzegorz!

Hi Grzegorz

This is sure a unique way to depict a frog’s eye. Creative and artistic at the same time.

The 90° composition works extremely well and this time one can even see more of the surround trees and environment where you took the photo. The colours are beautiful, the details are brilliantly sharp, and the exposure control was spot-on.

Good work and TFS.

Hi Grzegorz,

I love this. I can't imagine how you got such a sharply focused macr of a frog without glueing his feet down. The color is perfect, and except for the blown out highlight, the exposure is very good.

I have been shooting some frogs in my yard, and I have begun to suspect that the black and gold pattern in the eyes can be used like finger prints to identify specific individuals.

Fantastic job, Greg!

Una macro inusual Greg con agradable reflexión y bellos y marcados detalles del ojo del anfibio.
El encuadre bien ajustado colabora con la "dramatización" de la escena junto con el apropiado fondo logrado.
Una presentación vanguardista, de esas que gustan o no... y a mí personalmente me gusta mucho.
Cheers!.

An unusual macro Greg with pleasant reflection and beautiful and marked details of the eye of the amphibian.
The very tight framing collaborates with the "dramatization" of the scene together with the appropriate achieved bottom.
An avant-garde presentation, of those that like or not... and personally I like it a lot.
Cheers!.

If you had not revealed the source, I would have suggested this image for TL, Greg :-)!
Such a mammoth close-up of the frog's eye and that too rotated 90 degrees is bound to look somewhat abstract. However, in that, precisely, lies its appeal.
Warm regards,
Ram

Hi, Greg
An imaginative take on the subject, and I appreciate the effort involved to get a reflected landscape rather than a photographer mirrored in the subject's eye. The rotated forest is a little unsettling ;)

Hello Greg !
This is really an amazing picture ! I had never seen a frog's eye from this close ! :-) The details, textures and reflections on the eye are splendid, and I also like colors and composition. Great title, I love it ! Very well done !

Hi Greg

Perfect title! Great macro. Well done!

"The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing."

I love this one Greg. Excellent idea and very well executed. It really looks like Sauron's eye. Oh, how I love the 3 LotR movies. TFS!
