Nice composition,colors and DOF. Needs a bit more focus on the head of the butterfly.

it seems that the focus goes to the petal down left so the butterfly is blurr.. :(

Funny, I didn't even notice that piece of foreground grass and I gave this a 10. Shows how much I know! :D

Actually, now that I think about it some more, that foreground grass adds a leading element for the viewer and is possibly an enhancing diagonal line. Hmmm.

Perhaps this image needs a bit of of disecting yet. Oops! Sorry frog, nothing personal. (as my wife would say, I'm just cracking myself up). He-he.

Anyway, nice finish Trevor. I see it's made it into your top 4. Congrats!

Very nice color, lighting, and focus on this! Congrats on getting close enough for this. We have some large bullfrogs at our pond but I've yet to sneak up successfully with a camera in hand. You've inspired me to try again! :D Best of luck to you in the challenge.

The piece of grass in front of the frog is a little distracting but the frog its self is very sharp with lots of detail. Great Job!
