Well I almost stepped on this little guy walking back to the car in the rock quarry..So I thought I would break out the extension tubes and see how co-operative he would be...

All in all he stayed pretty calm as the big lense got to within a few inches..

All critiques are welcome.

Cheers

Dave

    the first one spins like a pinwheel, pretty
    since the origin of matter is matter
    shiny new thoughts are recycled clatter

    anyone have a decent early SD card digtal for grabs?


    a doomed love

    of course this post caught my eye mwink.gif

    cool photos thumb.gif In the 2nd one, I think I would prefer to see the green of the (bull)frog; but I really like the b/w w/ golden eye in the last. There, it looks like the frog should be shades of gray, like the bkgd.

    cheers,

    Nice return for your effort! As mentioned the selective coloring is way cool
    especially in the very close up image. thumb.gif

    Thanks everyone, the color of the frog was totally lost in the colors of rock which is why in this case I went for the selective coloring..Its also the reason I almost stepped on him..As I was looking thru the lens I really felt as if he was watching me and to be honest the detail in his eye really got my attention...

    Cheers
