Camouflage

This was taken in a swamp on public land here in Mid Michigan. I liked the weeds (duck weed?) that covered the waters surface and was looking for a subjuct to go along with it when I found a few frogs to pose for me. This was taken right before dark in very low light conditions. This prints out really nice but looses detail quickly once I resize it for the web.

Canon 7D, Canon 70-300mm, Aperture Priority, shutter 6 sec (yes 6 sec), f/8, ISO 100.

Thanks for looking and all C&C welcomed.

Hey John, I would crop it tighter so the head would be larger in the frame. It would take some time but I would clone the duckweed over all the blue gaps, which would give you solid duckweed. :wink:
