I haven't been able to post anything in macro in what seems like forever. Here's a shot I took early today. Some crop (20%) and clean-up of the water. C and C welcome...

Is that your reflection in the frog's eye??? :)
I like its reflection in the water, but without seeing more of its body through the water it gives a feeling of a floating head.... I think I would crop out more of the water to focus more on the frog....
I love this one, Mike! (We've missed you BTW). Yes, it does look like a floating head but the reflection anchors it enough for me. Only thing I can think of to add to this already lovely image is a possible brightening in curves of the eyeball. Try selecting just the eye, open a curves adjustment layer and then pull the whites up a tiny bit and the darks down a tiny bit and see if it adds any more sparkle to what is already very nice.
Beautiful work on the water, too.
I like it! Kind of cute.
I like the reflection in the water and the comp works for me.
Maybe the colorcast in the water should be a bit desaturated (the blue/cyan channel)
