Good one. I like the texture of the water, the natural richness of the greens, the reflective quality of the frog and his eye and his quartering to the lens posture. The diagonals of the lily pad edges make for a bit of a background distraction and I am sure that was a real challenge in composing the capture. It is cool how well the toes are shown through that layer of water...which makes me wish that tiny bit of debris was not covering the right front foot! I do appreciate that you gave him space and an edge in front for him to potentially jump into!
