Ah! This is lovely. And it sure fits the description for the contest. Even though the froggie has green, greens and grays, it if of a different color green. Nice photography. Like the dusting-like upon the leaves also. And, the leaf veins are so clear.

    Welcome much! Nice greens but a work that shows a separation in color, though so green, greens.

This is a great photo for this contest!! It's a winner! A great composition, well chosen and balanced. The colours are relaxing and natural. The little toad makes a great subject! He is so cute!! Well done

A very good entry into the contest. I keep looking for frogs with no success. The texture of the leaves and detail of the frog is shown with good clarity. Love the framing.

An excellent capture with awesome details of the textures in the leaves and the little frog. The green colors are not overwhelming, instead they are pleasing with wonderful lighting and depth. Well composed and framed with nice balance. A great entry to the green contest!

A beautiful shot that should be a favorite to win this contest. I like the composition and the fantastic colors. Did you know that "locoweed" is a wild Datura? Best of luck in the voting.

That is so neat! I didn't know that frogs could change their color. He really blends right into the leaf and the color. I like the way you framed the photo. It is a study in green!

    Thank you very much, I photographed a larger one a few months earlier that was completely gray,even though it was resting on a rhododendron leaf.

Cool,LeeAnn!
Lot's of Amphibians and reptiles have that color-changing ability! ( I wonder if certain Dinosaurs did too? Probably! )
Your well-presented photograph of this little creature looks Wonderful,my friend!

    Thanks, Sean! Yes, I?ll bet plenty of Dinos could change color,especially during breeding season, or to hide from others that wanted them for dinner-lol!

This is awesome LeeAnn! I love frogs and used to catch them as a kid! This one is interesting in that it can change colors to camouflage itself. Here it is green and blends in with the green leaf, but still stands out , I can see that it's just tiny.i like it's position on the green leaf and appreciate the details you were able to bring out here as well as a good show of its skin texture.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the green tones as well as the grey frogs legs appear true and natural.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

    Thanks so much for the wonderful review and well wishes, Pat! I always enjoyed catching them when I was a child, too, my brother and I used to catch tadpoles and raise them to frog-hood and let them go.
