Hi Ronald. Very nice exposure, sharpness and detail on the frog. The background water is certainly typical for a marsh environment and gives a proper sense of place although esthetically it "might" be just a little bit bright and patterned.

Did he actually climb up on that slippery little branch? He looks a bit vulnerable up there.

Cool detail on this guy. I think the proportion of bright reflections in the top part of the image is distracting. How about a crop of top 20 % and a little off the sides for proportion?

Ronald,
A question I unfortunately cannot answer

I really do not understand what is happening in the BG you the large version shows what appears to be very sharp edges to the lighter patches and blue "halos", the larger patch in the middle is very distracting. What does it look like in the RAW?
