I like the effect of the water and the beautiful colours though I would have liked it as much if you had thrown a watch or anything else into the water.

Just shows you that even with a photo as brilliant as this...to get any vote under a seven is rather ridiculous, and still they are there...it continues to amaze me..25 out of 143 still got it wrong...or rather this might be a perfect example of what is wrong with DPC...

When a frog sit on a small platform surrounded by water, it can not go anywhere but jump into water. A dropper was in my hand to create water drops and ripples. The whole background was water surface with reflections on it. No nature light played the role, only high speed flash can freeze this action in macro. I used Nissin 360 old fashion auto flash which provide extreme high speed when set in auto mode and lowest output power.
