It's interesting that doing nature photography invariably leads to close observation of what our subjects are actually doing. It's a big challenge to show elimination behaviour in an esthetic manner, but good on you to give it a bold try. Although just a tiny subject I would still consider the basic maxims of eye contact, low point of view and having the subject off center.

Gary this wasn't given the attention I should have given as to crop, etc. I don't think this is actually defecation by this frog. I chose the title to try for a laugh.

Ok, thanks Charlie. I somehow missed your point about the "posture", my bad. (I'm fighting a darn cold and not on my game) I do look forward to spring and seeing these guys around the ponds and puddles.

I know the feeling about the cold. I am without voice today but internet works great.

Charlie, the bright green stem crossing the upper right is a major distraction to my eye, especially given the really nice detail of the frog and the underwater setting. It would be favorable to ask him to turn and face the lens, too!
