Bullfrog reflection

[Doris Dumrauf]

I went to an Audubon nature center to photograph birds, but shot this bullfrog instead.

Doris, Nice sharp focus on the eye, and exposed well in nice light. Nice looking Bullfrog and the reflection is a big plus for your image.
Best,
Howard

It was nice that this frog stayed still for you. I too like the reflection and the colors of the frog. Typically I would like a lower angle, but that may have eliminated the reflection.

Doris,

Getting the reflection is a plus and warrants to high-up position. If you are OK with doing it, you could clone out the specular highlights on the nose and eye.

Hi everybody,
thanks for the comments. I forgot to mention that I used a circular polarizer. That brought out the reflection. I never thought about cloning out the highlights. I'll have to check into that.

Hi Doris,
This is a nicely detailed and well colored image.
