First off, we would like to thank all the photographers who entered the 2010 FROGS ARE GREEN photo contest. We were thrilled to receive your entries, and it was difficult to pick a winner. We hope you will continue your adventures as amphibian photographers and enter next year’s photo contest!
This year we accepted photos in two categories: frogs in the wild and backyard frogs.
FROGS IN THE WILD
WINNER: Adam Paine
We chose this photo because it is unusual and compelling.
Adam writes of the photo, “These frogs were found along the Pocotaligo River in South Carolina. It seems as if the mother frog had recently passed away from unknown causes. I had never seen this deep of an emotion showed in the Reptilian Kingdom before.”
HONORABLE MENTION: Christine Murphy
Photo of Camouflaged Toad in Josephine County, Oregon by Christine Murphy
We liked this well-composed photo of a handsome toad camouflaged on tree bark.
BACKYARD FROGS
WINNER: Christine Murphy
Photo by Christine Murphy in Josephine County, Oregon.
We chose this photo of a frog on a fence because of its strong composition.
HONORABLE MENTION: Theresa Walters
Singing Toad photo by Theresa Walters, Tionesta, PA. USA - Honorable Mention
We liked this photo of a male toad serenading a female toad in a backyard pond.
Theresa writes, “I found this singing toad in my backyard pond, in Tionesta, PA, standing on an artificial water lily. He was so involved in “singing” for a female, he didn’t even know I was there!”
PRIZES:
The winners will receive a Frogs Are Green t-shirt or poster of his/her choice or we can design a special t-shirt and/or poster with your winning photo. Honorable mention photographers will receive our small Red-Eyed Tree Frog poster.
