excellent capture author, but it is not obvious it is about night and day. the frog is, or appears to be asleep on a ceramic plate of some kind, and then is shot as a silhouette on a leaf. Unless the silhouette is lit by the moon, this is off theme.

I thought it was fairly obvious so I am sorry for your lack of imagination. The black stuff behind the leaf can sometimes be referred to as darkness ...sometimes this stuff can be associated with night time. I was unaware that the guidlines said I have to shot the dark stuff by moonlight and not use a flash. Red flag it if you wish.

and I forgot to mention ... frogs generally don't sleep with their eyes wide open

I did not mean it had to be lit only by moonlight, only that it did not appear to be darkness. I think it was the lit silhouette that maybe threw me off the scent..........

and, I was not aware that frogs spent their sleeping hours on a leaf!......

Lol @ sleeping on a leaf - they are only on a leaf when not busy sleeping in my shoes that I leave on the verandah

What I was also trying to convey was the difference in their behaviour between night and day too - but maybe I missed the mark for the 'un-frog wise' lol

ah, that'll be it............. you have to remember us 'unf rog wise'...............lol

If I can chuck my 2 cents worth in here, I think these are two really well shot images. And for me is really well on theme.

I'd hate to see us get to the point where we're so pedantic about the rules that we lose all artistic licence. Nope, lets leave that can o' worms closed! .

Top entry author, I know/hope this will do well.

They are superb images. One is in the dark & the other in the light so I suppose on-theme!

Very cool..

I want like.. 12 of these guys.
