Common Frog
In one of my garden pools yesterday.
Interesting the fact that only the top half of the head was out of the water. Just made the image look a bit different I thought.
The flash has blown the tiny water mites on his head though.
D7000
Sigma wide 18-50mm
350 ISO f18
On camera flash
80% of frame
levels etc Paint Shop Pro.

An unusual angle, John,which actually works quite well. It might have been better to get a little lower, but then there is the problem of getting up again...

Thanks David
He was right up against a slab on the pond edge and with the wide I was about 5 inches away. Mustn't get the 7000 wet |!!!

Low POV would have been a tad awkward John, lol. The eyes really stand out, which is what matters, I like this, its unusual John!

I think the angle is fine as you get to see all the legs. Great image JR I like this one a lot. You could easily clone out the highlights if you wished.

Coincidentaly I found some frog spawn on our patio yesterday afternoon, clearly the overwintering frogs failed to find my small pond in time.....
