    Default Common frog (Rana temporaria)

    My wife spotted this little guy hiding amongst the weeds in her little garden pond, I took several images then tried an image stack
    Hand held 10 images capture, I stacked 7 of the 10 in Zerene stacker.

    When you view would you mind noticing the relative size of the image on your screen, then look at the image in PSCC at 100% - are they the same size or do you need to reduce the web image to about 80%??

    A nice view of this frog peeking through the duckweed. Maybe a step or two to your left would have made him more level with that eye. But this is still nice. I know that's not always possible.

    Here's an alternative for your consideration, you can see me to the right of frog's eye. I could have lifted the darker components a little more but I think this is fairly close to reality.

    Hi Jon, glad you gave it a bit more oomph and some USM too. Colours also look better.

    I wished the head was more to camera rather than looking away, plus I think you could loose some of the FG mush. the brighter HL's needs a tweak to bring some detail back, but overall, nice to see something different.

    Hello Jon,

    A not-so-common image of a common frog, well seen and captured! RP is gorgeous in terms of colour and tonality, love the little fella:)

    I would also lose a tad off the FG but otherwise this works well with me, the green vegetation/little leaves are just super cool and so is detail on the subject, nicely done

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
