In a rainy morning, I spotted two frogs on a small pond.

Oh man, love the buttery-smooth texture, that shine. You nailed the focus. I love the vibrant colors and extreme sharpness. This one actually works well with the vignette (?) you added, keeps my focus on those bright eyes.

The wet, slick texture of the frogs is quite pleasing. I like this as posted, but suspect the greens might be saturated a little beyond natural. Perhaps reducing sat on just the pads and leaving the frogs as shown would really make them "jump" from the scene! :wink: Compositionally I wish they were very slightly higher in the frame, and if you have some extra canvas you might experiment with that. Good capture and good eye.

Lovely! :smile: The greens are vibrant, but it suits this well IMO.

I like the comp on this and having the second frog in the frame is a bonus. I do think it seems a bit over saturated though.
