These are beautiful as usual. I do have a constructive criticism of #2 though. For me the out of focus brightly colored lichen in the upper left distracts from the image. I think it would have been better if it had been part of the focus stack, or alternatively, the FOV could have been slightly reduced so the froglet would be more emphasized. Just my impression....

Thanks a ton, Lou! Really apreciate the honest and kind feedback - always welcome that.
I was going for a "environmental" shot since that's how I noticed the froglet in this first place. Shall try reducing the Luminance and repost :)
