Not a Toad Prince
My wife found our resident toad while she was moving things in her garden. This fella has been living under our back porch for a few years now.
Both frames were shot with the lovely Sigma 50/1.4. This lens is finally growing on me.

I like those colors in these. The skin tones look good too… I’m talking about Roz’s hands, though I don’t doubt the toad’s are nice too!
Love the bokeh you’re getting from that Sigma. Nice work keeping the toad’s eyes in focus and using the DOF.
Thanks Mike! Yea the Sigma lens on the 5D rocks once you finally understand it’s DOF is RAZOR thin at F1.4 to F2. In fact it seems to be thinner than most and it has ZERO tolerance for error. Also, it is picky at focusing distance. Wide open it seems sharp at certain distances and soft at others. What is nice is that when it is soft its a flattering soft. In summary it is a lens that is HEAVY in personality.
Very nice. Also loving the way you’ve used the DoF on that lens.
