Blue Poison Dart

It is very hard to get the lighting right so that these frog’s eyes don’t look solid black. Too little flash, and they look like a vast bottomless pit … a window into the complete absence of a soul. Too much flash, and the entire thing glares over, making them look like blind zombie frogs (which also would be soulless, I suppose.)
