They even have grins on their faces, Albert.  Sometimes joy doesn't have to be exuberent.

Nice detail in both faces.  The smirky expressions are priceless.

Well, they do look contented.  Clever shot.

Very nice. They're even smiling, Albert. Reminds me of the Three Dog Night song, "Joy to the World." ("Jeremiah was a bulfrog. Was a good friend of mine...". ) cool

Those big smiles really set the mood, Albert!  The diagonal angle of the slope and corresponding arrangement of the frogs adds some graphical interest in this shot.

Albert, a fine catch of these two little frogpoles (not quite frogs by clearly no longer tadpoles) with good color and sharpness in both frogs.  It sure does look like they're grinning broadly.  (As an aside, I'm always struck by how birds seem to be frowning.)

Hello Albert,... Yes a  smily face x  2 .  you also have a small snail sneaking out of the picture. The underwater look of their feet is very interesting too!

congrats
