NEGATIVE:
"Frog in a box" does nothing for me. It looks like one of those tacky effects you get with cheap software.
POSITIVE:
However the rest are fantastic shots and especially I absolutely love #4. I would have lightened up the reflection in the centre of his eye so we can see more detail.
Nipper have you got a fish eye? A big nose fish of froggy would be fun!

I thought I recently saw a pic of a new macro lens on your Flickr stream Mike?
PS I'm not keen on frog in a box either, but number 3 is fantastic.
I tried macro shots of frogs once, the reflections did my head in so I quickly gave up
