Nice action, color and comp. The foreground shadow distracting.

Larger, please! I'm sure you've heard this. There is a tutorial on the site about sizing your image.

Otherwise, it seems that if it were larger: you captured the moment well, I would have preferred a closer crop (maybe get right of the top & bottom quarters, & left third), and it looks a little out of focus.

Nice composition. What this shot at mid-day? Might get better natural tones early AM or near sunset.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not understanding the connection of a frog to the darkness challenge. In this case, I'm not finding that the centered composition works well. Perhaps placing your subject at a rule of thirds intersection would help. The subject (frog) is also kind of small in the frame. The background doesn't seem to contribute much to the image, you could try filling the frame more with the subject, or if that is beyond your camera's capability for such a small subject, try finding a larger subject to shoot.

I find the frog too centered. The angle on the division between the metal and the concrete is good. Flash seems to be a bit on the strong side too.

Comment by LucidLotus:
I'm afraid I don't relate to the darkness you're trying to convey here. In general, I find the composition a bit uninspired - what are you trying to say with the frog being alone? Is it loneliness? Ugliness? Both? Being little in a big world? Being drab in a colorful world? Any of those could be dark related but I can't see your vision at the moment. I think the focus is pretty good, the lighting is decent, though could be better. I would have to say that the biggest improvement would be an evident purpose in the composition. That said, it could just be me as a random viewer who is missing something obvious, which wouldn't be the first time. I can only go with what I see/interpret so I gave a 3.
