Sure looks like this guy has the life.

This is the froggy that let me look at him for a while on Thursday. He sure looked like he was having a good time. Now that I look at it, that hole in the grass in the lower right corner is bugging me. Should I crop that out? Or clone the hole closed? I am FINALLY getting the hang of this darn lens. :)

1/640
f/5.6
ISO 100
300mm

    Beautiful little...hmmm...guy or girl?? Whatever, very nice capture! thumb.gif

    That brighter spot in the lower right does kind of attract the eye away from the froggie, so you might try a bit of cloning. It would be interesting to compare the result to the original. Easy for me to say of course...I'm not great at cloning. Every time I try, I get a sheep! :haha

    I don't know if it's a guy or gal, I didn't want to try to find out. :)

    I tried cloning, and then I used the healing brush, and then the blur tool. Then I decided to crop right to the edge of the bright spot.
