Young frog on a lilly

[Phoenix]

Using a rather old prime 200 mm macro lens in a confined area has it's challenges.

My that purple/mauve goes well together with the yellow. I like the first with the little bug on the frog's head!

Thanks Greg, you are obviously a man with impeccable taste if you like purple and yellow together!
I suspect the little bug may be a very young bush cricket. A bit of rain and the insects are abundant...just love it!

Love those two colours together!!!

I think #1 for me too. Prefer the composition.

Maybe a bit more processing/sharpening to make the frog more prominent?

Well spotted

Thanks for that constructive feedback. Had a battle between good dof and light and background noise .. due to the old 200mm prime macro and gloomy light. I agree that it could be better... :-)

Smiley looks at home.

Thanks Pete, he sure is a happy looking frog. When I came out later he was still in the lilly but it had shut. All I could see was a nose and a pair of eyes. So cute.
