I photographed this frog in bosnia. He was sitting on the edge of a small waterfall. I was able to take this picture by standing in the waterfall. i used one hand to keep me from falling, with the other hand i took the picture. The camera was sitting on a rock. I wish the frog was a little more to the right back corner, but if i tried that i probably fell in the water.

I like that you managed to keep the frog sharp yet still got some nice motion blur from the water. That must have been a fast creek. Lovely image!

Hi

A smashing shot that has plenty of appeal - at shooting time it would have been worth trying for a slower shutter speed, for more motion blur

All the best
Matthew

Excellent image!! Composition looks good to me. I love how the water flows over the frog and doesn't wash it away.
