These two were hanging out in my pond this AM. I thought they looked like friends, or even brothers? Kind of the, "don't mess with my bros" look.

I tried even smaller f/stops to increase DOF, focus part way between the two, etc., just not enough DOF at this distance to cover them both. Because I was hand holding, stacking not an option.
This image brought a big smile to my face! Very nice reflections. Given a choice had to be made, I really like where you put the focus. With the larger frog in back and slightly OOF, it emphasizes the "I'm watching over you" feeling of the image. Thanks for sharing!
Love the low shooting angle and, of course, the reflections! Very sharp within your DOF and I like the soft light. You might consider toning down the bright area below the black on the right side so it doesn't draw the eye. Very nicely done!
