Nice capture, John...I like the detail of the frog, color tones, and simple composition. MFC

Willem,

Thanks for the suggestion.

When I read it I said to myself, "Oh, man! How did I miss that. . ."

I played with it for a bit but no amount of rotation made it look right. I think it's pretty much level as it is. Look closely how the waterline at the left starts out essentially level than slopes up to the frog. He's pressed against the glass and the water is approximately following his body due to surface tension. In any case, due to the frog, the waterline is not a straight line all the way across.

Hi, Mark,

Yes, he was in the sea lion exhibit at the local zoo. I don't know if he was a stray or lunch. He was only about an inch and a half long.

I agree with the need to rotate, but the image looks great, the composition and those eyes are fantastic. - Shay

I would straighten the water level horizontally. Other than that great capture. Willem
