Green frog in the Great swamp

I like the textures, pity the frog isn't more striking in color.

Beautiful shot, very partial to frogs.Next time rub yourself with some mint leaves.Does wonders and you wont poison yourself or the environment.

I love this photo, but am not yet ready to rate. Find the photo somewhat grainy in texture. It would benefit from fixing the grain, moire and/or jpeg cleanup. Strange that the full PhotoShop does not have these features, but there is the little Home Edition that does ($50 US)...and perhaps other software that does this. PS does have "despeckle, but it's not as controllable as the little package. If you have a way to try this, do, and I'll come back.

Thanks etfon911 for the comment. I tend not to photoshop my images much. I still am not quite decided on where my lines lies with regards to manipulated pictures. I will try out your suggestion and see how the result looks. I think what i was missing that day was a polarizing filter which might have given me less reflection and better saturation. Its one i keep with me all the time now. I really appreciate any critiques that can lead to better photos next time.

Nice composition, but the round white blobs (on the top right) are a little distracting for me. They could be easily cloned out though.

Very nice. The composition is good and the colour tonal harmony I like too.
