You have a great eye for a good shot. I like the duck-weed on his chest and the top of his head. Thanks for a great potd.

Wonderful shot Suzane. Keep your spirit high and don’t allow anything to dampen it. Congrats.

great shot and love that the rock keeps dragging the eye off the “man of the hour” …depth, foreground, eye movement. He is not fully seated, the typical froggie pose, but rather, is sort of hanging on the bar waiting for his next babe & brewski! Great Shot and Fun for the imagination too!

You must have worked on the biggest (size wise) computers ever. What a journey it must have been for you. I’d love to meet you to hear your memoirs.
A shot to be treasured. What an attitude that guy’s displaying!!!

I love it!
Ellen Empson
Guess I did not read! Your backyard, wonderful!

Your bullfrog made me laugh out loud, too!
Great pose for his close-up. All he needs is a little crown and a pretty maiden to kiss him on his big frog lips! Look out, Prince Charming!

This is the photographer speaking… I don’t think I can respond individually to comments, so let me answer a few things here…
Thank you all for the kind comments! This remains my favorite shot, and is on the back of my “business card”. I don’t see my website shown under “website” above, so here it is : frognuts.com
