This young green frog sat patiently to have his portait taken or was it waiting for a kiss?

I really like your POV here, and I like seeing this frog in the middle of the grass like that.

With lips like these I'm even tempted to give him a kiss - LOL ;^)
Great shot Ester, love the expression from this angle and you depth of field on the shot. If this were mine though, if there were more available space in the frame I'd choose to situate the subject a little higher and to the right; along the guidelines of the so-called Rule of Thirds. Not attempting to teach you how to suck eggs, as it were, just saying how I would have composed this one according to my own taste ;^)

Hi Ester,
Love the colour here and the expression on the frog's face is great. I was about to say EXACTLY what Ashley said about the positioning of the frog in the frame before I read his comment! If you do choose to crop some off the top, I wouldn't go beyond the level of the diagonally-oriented leaf crossing the frame - it makes a nice natural frame-topper for the image.
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
