~6pm CDT 9/3/05, St. Charles County, Missouri; open shade at a vernal pond
Canon 20D, 100-400 IS @ 400mm, 500D close-up lens, tripod
ISO 200, 3.2 sec @ f/22, auto WB
ACR: noise reduction & WB tweak (warmed & removed remaining blue cast)
PSCS2: dust cleanup, contrast tweak, small saturation boost, sharpened
Spent a wonderful 30-45 minutes kneeling in about 6" of mud at the pond's edge photographing this guy and an equally cooperative leopard frog who were about a foot apart, and both less than 18" from the front of my lens. Didn't even notice the mosquito at first, but it was stuck there throughout the shoot.
Love the frog...you did an excellent job of getting nice, crisp details throughout. I would like to suggest darkening the BG as the light/dark tones that run throughout are a bit distracting. That mosquito/insect sure is a nice bonus!
