    Prey is nice. I think the image needs some leveling.

    Wish to have better lighting conditions.

    The frog is awesome but what crappy light you had. This is one of those shots where I say "If only...."
    Agree this needs a bit of CCW rotation.
    A lower POV might have brought some color into the BG and minimize that grey/white water.

    I agree that the frogs pose is great and really makes the shot. You did well under challenging conditions.

    Yes, the frog doing the split is awesome and yes, the light was crappy. But I am pretty sure that the processing on this one could have been a lot better ... Lastly the head is turned away from us but the frog angle is perfect.
