Luc, what a POV!!!! now there's a shot. Perfect, no complaints from this end. 1000 points for originality.
Back in my childhood days, I caught these by hand. They were fun to catch.

Hey, the artist is his own worst critic.

Great pov Luc - you must have been almost down on your belly to get this angle;-) and in addition a nearly perfect reflection. Wonderful details on a perfect background in an interesting composition - well done, this is a great one indeed.

What a pity there was glass between you, or you could have kissed him and turned him into a prince.. or did I get it all wrong? ;-))
The capture's nice and sharp, good DOF, nice reflection (the roof?) in his eye, but some trees would have been nicer ;-))

Gorgeous portrait of a frog prince. The color and clarity are amazing and the reflection is wonderful. The perspective gives the composition the kind of appeal to draw the viewer closer. The reflection of lights, made me stop for a bit, but the oval shape created a nice repeating pattern, which allowed me to move through the frame. Well done.

Quel oeil! Magnifique Luc, je suis impressionné par cette photo macro. Très réussi. Beaux détails, beau reflet. La tonalité en vert est bien agréable. Je ne peux m'empêcher de fredonner en regardant la photo et son titre. Bravo!

Luc, wonderful photo. Another very beautiful one coming from you.

Something grabbed my attention: 1/5?! I find it amazing because it seems you didn't use a tripod. How to get such sharpness by using 1/5?

Fantastic composition, POV, colors and note.

Congratulations.

What big eyes you've got, Grandma? Looks like he is keeping an eye on you as well, NOw now you may try to kiss him and then YOU will end-up with warts!
A beautiful picture this LUC, well done. And it gives off its own warmth too.

One of your best, Luc! Fantastic, clear and sharp close-up. Great BG and reflection in the water. How many diopters has got your new close-up lens?

Great shot Luc.
I have looked a very long time on this.
Maybe on of your best. You handle the macro lens very good.
I specially like the light and the big eye.
Very good sharpness, details, colours and a very nice pose.
Just a small nit that you cut the reflection.
Great work.

Pionts later, out of cents as usual

J'ai pris un peu de retard, Luc :-). Même pas le temps de faire des photos! Evidemment, ceci est excellent, totalement inattendu et très bien réalisé. La peau luisante est étonnante, quant à l'oeuil, c'est parfait. Très beau reflet dans l'eau, un peu estompé vers le bas. En tout cas, une photo originale. Incidemment j'aime beaucoup Charlebois! Très bon rapprochement.

What big eyes you've got Mr Frog. I see the lights in his eyes. Good reflections in the water too. Well done Luc.

Beware Luc, He's got an eye on you (or the paint brush). The composition here is stauuning and your sharpness is great. I really like this one.

Very well done and thanks for posting.

Très belle image Luc, j'adore le point de vue à fleur d'eau créant ainsi l'homothétie verticale de ton sujet. De plus la prise de vue un peu de 3/4 met en évidence la rondeur des deux yeux caractéristique de ce batracien. Les lumières multi-ponctuelles offrent à la fois une lumière douce et enveloppante tout en maintenant une spécularité dans les reflets sur la peau visqueuse de la grenouille. Tu n'as point caché la provenance de ta photo, ce qui explique les multiples réflexions dans son oeil, par contre je serais curieux de voir la même photo retravaillée pour minimiser ces reflets. Si tu ne l'a pas fait, c'est surement par choix. Il n'en demeure pas moins que c'est une photo superbe qui mériterais un bonhomme souriant vert grenouille très foncé.
