    Default Blowing bubbles - female green frog

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Taken this evening in my pond. This is a female, although hard to tell from this angle! She was sitting on a ledge in the pond and the waterfall generates lots of bubbles, which often stick to the frogs. I generally try to avoid shots with the bubbles, but thought this one was too funny to pass on. I was also struck by the various scratches she has, under her left eye, and on the right snout.

    Olympus EMF 60m Macro f/10 1/40s ISO 1600 handheld ( kind of, I was resting my hand on the ledge in the water)

    Post: Full frame, cleaned up several specular reflections, selective sharpening.

    Thoughts always appreciated.

    Cheers

    I love it!! The arms and hands (do frogs have arms and hands?) are wonderful, and of course the bubbles are amazing -- could almost be OOTB!

    This is a pretty unique shot, Randy! Cool bubble and interesting distortions of the front feet! You might consider a little more selective sharpening around the frog's right eye.
