Seen in My Pond

This is a frog from my garden pond.

Shot with my Panasonic TZ7 on macro settings. Leaning across the pond I stuck my camera as close to the frog as possible, tried to get eye level without dipping my camera in the water, forced my 'flash on' and shot about five pictures.

A bit of frog spawn can be seen in the top left corner, and an oxygenator plant on the right hand side of the frame

This was about the best of the set.

Post processed in GIMP, with auto levels, a tad sharpening and a crop.
