This was processed about a year ago. This took place in a flooded ditch near our house.
My processing skills are lackluster at best-but I try.

Amazing plumage texture and colouration, Aaron. Prey and water ripples really adds to the story. I might try burning in the brightest twigs to make them a little less eye-catching.

Sharp with great frog. Do you know what species of frog? Bummer about all those sticks, esp. the one that prevented you from moving to your left to better parallel the subject....

That's pretty cool but the white stick would have blocked the bird if you moved much to your left. Where do you live?

So I am guessing that it is not a Rio Grande Leopard Frog :)
