I was fascinated by the reflections cast on the frogs' eyes, so I made some enhancements. In this guy's eye, you can see the sky with some clouds, an overhanging tree branch, the lake, as well as the shore and opposite shore:

I love the eye pictures! Its a great reminder that what we are really photographing is light.

I can never seen to get good frog pictures, they never hold still for me. There are several ponds on our ranch, and I will always see them but no pictures yet.
