    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.

    That is my reflection -- I hadn't noticed that!

    Thanks Jules, it's good to be shooting and posting again. :D

    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)

    I didn't do anything to the saturation level of the water -- it's just the reflection of the sky behind it. I'll play with it a bit.
