    Great looking little frog, Norm. How small is he? It must have been an amazing trip for you.

    I think if this were mine, I might try to smooth out the background a little and selectively sharpen the frog a bit.

    Hi Maureen.

    The frog is pretty tiny, probably only 1-2 inches long.

    Norm.....flash exposure handled well! I agree that smoothing out the bg with a low opacity brush might work well here.

    Hi Norm, interesting pose and nice use of the flash. Agree with the suggestions above on sharpening and BG blur.
