Well - can't see the bullet wound!

One of those times to "shoot first and ask questions later" pics I reckon.

Alternatively known as "a shot in the bag is worth a motor-drive's-worth of sharp background once the frog's hopped it".

My initial reaction was that the background's a bit too busy.....

...for example, do this:



(Just a quick and dirty)

...and you can see the sort of potential there

I don't really like the shot, but I can't entirely tell why...

Maybe because the frog is the only interesting/notable part of the picture, yet it takes up so little of the frame. I'd also prefer the entire frog in focus... And the perspective/level of the camera seems a bit unnatural, a shot from closer to the frog's level would have seemed a bit more natural for a shot. Those seem to be my main criticisms, but once again frogs don't like to stay still, so fiddling with the camera may have yielded no frog...
