Here's a shot of a frog checking me out. It was shot @ 1/15th F 5.8.

A fine look at this amphibian, love the clarity. There may be a cyan cast.

Hi

As Tom suggests I would also wonder a little about the colour balance – I feel the colour balance could be adjusted removing the overly blue look, which would give a warming more inviting look and probably a less glare like effect upon the water as well. But easily solved suggestions aside a beautifully clear view of this fellow. The surrounds are fantastic with not a pond weed in sight !!!

Very nice indeed !!!

All the best
Matthew

Very nice Brad. I agree re: the color balance, but other than that a charming little frog vignette.

Fun, sharp, "out of the box." Agree there may be a color caste - I'm not very good that way, but it looks a hair off. If you've got the pixels, I'd add to the bottom and left; if not' I'd judiciously crop from the top and right; I think that "rule of thirds" thign would really lend to this image.
Good light,
Craig
