Found this little guy while admiring my orchids.
probably 1/4 to 1/2 inch or so big.

What technical feedback would you like if any?

any and all

What artistic feedback would you like if any?

any and all

Pertinent technical details or techniques:

Canon 80d with Macro twinlight. Sigma 150mm Macro f 13 1/125sec. I hand held one of the twinlights underneath the orchid petal to give an underglow. my sensor is apparently really dirty so you may see some clone spots. single image handheld.

Wow, Matt, a quarter to half an inch is one small frog. That would be hard to get a full frame shot of him. The lighting works for me. Great idea to put the flash under the pedal.

Matt: Welcome to Macro and thanks for a terrific first post here. This is a wonderful find and I like both presentations. Really nice work with your lighting especially. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more. >=))>

Matt, the “inner glow” due to lighting from below looks really good here. Nicely executed and presented.
