Common Frog - Rana temporaria. Taken in our little garden fish pond during the spring, when the pond was alive with mating frogs.

As you approach the frogs usually dive for cover, so whilst they were hidden I lay down by the edge of the pond, behind some of the plants there and waited for them to reappear... which eventually they did. I was lucky to get this one directly facing me and took his portrait.

Lens used was a Canon 100 - 400 L IS USM with a ext tube fitted to enable close focusing. Distance to the frog was about 2 feet.

Hi Miles,
Outstanding close-up shot. Amazing sharpness and exposure. I like the low POV and the reflection on the water. Fine DOF and BG. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Miles,

Brilliant composition, DOF, POV, and is very sharp and detailed.
Well done,

I've already critiqued this image, so don't really need to again (it is brill by the way). I'm just curious as to how you managed to post two images within half an hour of each other!??! - Julia.

Great compo! perfect DOF
Nice

Hi Miles,
A very impressive capture!
The sharpness of the image is reamrkable, it's so enjoying all the clear details got all around.
Very good your frontal POV, the pose of the frog, the eye contact, and the reflection of it on the water.
I think you made a brilliant composition.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

An absolutely fantastic POV and reflection, Miles.
What a funny pose you have caught.
Amazing low POV. How did you do that?

Hi Miles, this guy doesn't look at all common. I would say he must be realated to Toad and looks as though he has grand ideas. Beautiful shot.
