Caught this little critter sitting around basking in the sun down by the river.

Canon 7D, ef70-200L IS @ 120mm, f5.6, iso100, 1/250sec, fill flash because of shade, cropped out about 60% of image, small levels adjustment in CS5, Handheld

C&C welcome.

Great detail! Like the solid green background.

He looks great! My only question is (given you cropped 60%) is whether you could have found a crop that would minimize the mass of the wood stump/long he is sitting upon.

David, really like the frog - well defined against that clean background. I'm fine with either composition you've presented.

Wonderful expression you've captured here Dave, I also really like the angle of view with you having shot this from below and the Frog appearing be be looking down at you, very nice indeed!
