Hey Joel. The low perspective shows off the interesting markings on his underparts. I'm liking the very earthy colors throughout. The frog stands out well, in spite of the cryptic coloration. My only "criticism" would be that the photo seems to suffer from some motion blur, so all elements appear just a little soft. You had a reasonable shutter speed for the situation; I can understand that perhaps you didn't want to lie down in the swamp to brace those elbows in the mire. :smile:

Joel,

I have to agree with Gary on this one, it looks quite soft on my monitor, should be sharper at F8?

Thank you for the comments, exactly what I am looking for. Looks like I need the haul the tripod out:)
