One more round with the frog - 08-07-2011, 10:27 PM
Critique: CC:

Well maybe not a prince but today I brought my yoga mat out to the pond and REALLY got low. I also tried taking some shots without my tripod which was a big change but it allowed me to get an even lower angle. Thank goodness for the swivel screen on the 60D!

I wasn’t ever really able to get as close to the frogs as I would have liked but I think it actually worked out pretty well. The curled up leaf in this shot I think balances the composition a bit .

Critiques welcome

I like it. You're right about the balance. Without it, there'd be too much dead space for my liking.
