Excellent K! Great colors, reflection, and frog. :) #555958Donna W. Neal May 23, 2004
Excellent K! The frog is a definite bonus. I have tried and tried to capture a frog on a lilypad and the minute they hear the slightest movement they are gone! So guess I will just enjoy your picture.

Splendid threesome, Kelly, and the frog ... looks like he's asking, "What do you think?" :-) He adds a wonderful dimension to the image and your taking that chance paid off handsomely. Bravo!

The bold center placing works very well here. The pads beautifully frame the flowers and the reflections.Almost missed the frog!! Looks like he/she stuck in the head just in time!!
Well composed and a beautiful execution. #556562

K, congratulations on the win! It is a beautiful photograph (as are ALL your photographs). I like to think of myself as observant, but have to confess I didn't even see the frog until the second time I viewed the photograph. As an excuse, I have to say that I ADORE water lilies and my eyes were totally drawn to them and them alone. What a plus the froggie makes though! Great job! Jay #608610
