Find the Frog

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 21, 201715,702 views9 comments

There's a small marshy pond at the wildlife sanctuary where I volunteer that has a very nice collection of water lilies blooming along with all of the activity that's part of a marshy woodland pond. This view is a 10 shot stack where I didn't see the Green Frog until I started the processing. (7D2, 100-400 f4.5-5.6 II @ 241 mm, f/13, 1/160s, iso 400, tripod and polarizer)

Mark, I sure am enjoying looking at this. The large version is so interesting and it is fun to let your eyes explore the whole scene. Great looking colors and a very cool image.

What a great image, Mark! I had to do some looking to find the frog though, but I did finally find him. He sure wasn't a problem with the stacking, so he must have stayed pretty still during your multiple shots.

Nice capture of this scene. The blooms add interest throughout the frame. I might suggest actually dialing back on the contrast a bit on this scene. I'm not sure if I found the frog or a rock, but I see what appears to be a partially submerged frog just above and to the left of the center of the frame.

Very nice image of the lillies in the pond (and the cute tiny frog), Mark. The flowers are lillies are gorgeous, and the detail is excellent.

I like the composition specifically the placement of the flowers in the frame Mark. Lovely color too.

Took me a while to find the frog, but persistence paid off. I love the detail in your stack and the blooms are perfectly placed. Beautiful, Mark.

Beautiful in its simplicity. And, then there is the stunning detail. Studying this picture is a true visual treat.

The stack has produced some wonderful details in the large version, Mark. I also like your placement of the lilies throughout the frame and the little frog is doing a great job of being inconspicuous between those two lilies. It must be great having this place close by.
