American Bullfrog, Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive
6/10/2017, 8:15:17 AM
Canon EOS 7D Mark II EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM +1.4x III @ 560 mm
f/8, 1/320, ISO 400 (just made the change, I'm going in order through the day and learning, there are two in Avian at ISO 200)
Aperture priority, Evaluative metering
No NR, Topaz Details on frog to even out the highlights and shadows, and added sharpening while I was there, cropped for composition and to show off the frog better

I could hear SO many bullfrogs, and I looked everywhere I could, but this was the only one I could see. :)

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Very cool. Fine as posted. Only thing I see to try, would be to offer a little less foreground,to have a better overall focus. Perhaps look at it with the frog centered top to bottom and see how that feels to you. This is, of course, a highly subjective suggestion, and is not a matter of correct or incorrect.

Barbara, I love the color and detail in those eyes. I like the bit of reflection too.

You made this frog look like a PRINCE! Well done, Barbara.
