We shot this at the end of last summer, on a canal near home.
The frog was quite cooperative, at least for some minutes.

Thanks for looking and for your comments and suggestions.

Lovely frog. Like the sharp focus on the eyes and the blur into the bg. Nice to see the dew drops as well.

Great pose here! Love the eye and perch.
The whole image seems a bit "flat" to me - I bet some added saturation and contrast would help this nice image a lot.

A very fine image, with great quality of light, fine detail and a delicate colour palette- Very well done, Fabio

Great pose and pov, nice background and I like the little droplets of water on the leaf as well, adds another point of interest to the image. Just my 2c but I think it could use from a bit of a boost in contrast esp on the leaf and stem.
