Hi,
Terrific sharpness and tonal quality. He is a little hard to "read" at first since his colors tend to blend with the surroundings but you have done a great job in capturing him. I like the composition and that he is facing to the left. That tends to keep my eye within the frame of the photo more easily. Did you do any post production on this? I looked for EXIF data but could not find any. Nice work!

isnt that funny that he just sat there!!!

Must be a thing with frogs lately, maybe they are stars in the making, I know when I took mine they didnt budge despite flash going off.

I really likethis shot, h has lovely colours and is nice and sharp, even like the dimples in the water.

OK, OK,

knickers71uk, taking nothing away from you or your photo, by "both of you," I meant Luc and the frog, and on your thread I would say the same. (Context, I must remember, "context.")

I really like this shot. The majority of the frog is in focus and incredibly sharp, yet the background is just blurry enough to highlight the frog.
Excellent photo

Gorgeous :-) The out of focus background is spot on. Well done
