oh i remember those days. cute capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this handsome young man with his captured frog is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Lili, what a charming portrait of your grandson! Holding one of my favorite reptiles as well... looks like a nice big one too!

Your portrait is very nice and clean with great details and no distractions.

I wish you lots of luck in the contest!

Lori,
A beautiful picture of your handsome young grandson holding a green frog in his hands with a wide smile on his face. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition captures a very good pose and expression. Both look very calm and relaxed! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Shadow catcher
A wonderful portrait of your grandson and his frog which is either a green or bullfrog,I like how you have included the waterfall just behind and off to the side for additional interest and to give us an idea of the location in which you took this image.Very well focused with excellent exposure and color saturation,Carter and his frog stand out well against the natural backdrop.A great entry for the contest,I wish you all the best!

It is evident that this boy loves frogs. His expression is adorable. The frog does not mean to be handhold either. The animal looks quite confident. The photo is well focused and exposed and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and the realism of light and color. The framing looks too tight to me because the arms of the boy touch almost the margins, although the composition is balanced.
