Green frog in the Great Swamp

I took this picture early in the morning as the green frogs were

sunning themselves in shafts of sunlight coming through the trees in

the swamp. I loved the textures of the moss covered tree base on

which this frog was sitting. Perhaps a polarizing filter might have

helped the image further? Let me know what you think.

thanks for your comments

Nice catch

I love the richness of the green on the frog!

Richness of colour , good focus , nice diagonal composition , perhaps I would have preferred (in ideal circumstances) the frog to have been set off against lighter surroundings ... first class shot , though !

Thanks Walter. This was taken a while ago. I think the thing that bothers me most are the out of focus reflections from water in the background. This is a swamp and heavily wooded with shafts of light coming through the canopy. Thinking about your comment, perhaps if i move around more to use the moss more completely as a background that might help. Worth trying again this spring. thanks again.

The frog is so beautiful that the reflections seem a very minor annoyance. Lovely!
