Posted: 25 Mar 2011 hi rob 
are you talking about the pic itself or the subject of it??? 
well speaking solely as someone with a lot less knowledge of herps or photography (or anything! ) than many members, i can only humbly suggest.....
WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PIC POSSIBILITIES INCLUDE; 1. freshly-laid frogspawn and toadspawn side by side seems quite unusual. since toads normally spawn later. - a possibly unusual chronological anomaly shown. 2. in this shot some of the toadspawn looks a bit like natterjack "singles" but bufo bufo is depicted. perhaps something askew with the BB spawn then. like disease or mutation etc? - therefore the subjects appear to conflict and confound expectations variously. 3. nothing. amazingly, its so wrong its BRILLIANT - the photo shows 3 anura! BB, RT (spawn) and CALAMITA spawn. - ok this is maybe a bit hard to swallow?
3. its disingenuous. this pic has been faked, "made-over" or its characters manipulated in some way in order to achieve an effect. perhaps for fun or even to incite debate.
- thats if you mean the pics construction rather than the content. 4. its too BIG. some might argue that its a bit unwieldy and user-unfriendly for the screen. might put people off exploring it which would be a shame. (as 3.) !!
5. this shot only shows an "ugly" "common-or-garden" toad.* and toads AINT popular among members.* 
not compared to most uk herps (looking at the site stats for the last year). its "wrong" to post toad when there are adders or sandies afoot. BUFO BUFO; common in uk, rare on RAUK.  //
any of those any good????
thanks for posting toad topic. 
regards, ben 
* personally, i love em. Diversity. |

Posted: 26 Mar 2011 That was what I was looking for Ben, the frog spawn looks so fresh it could have been laid by the Toad! And I was just playing with the fact that Toady was alongside it
