 A cute little frog I found sitting along the calm water edges of the Sturgeon River. She actually had a bunch of tadpoles swimming around her, and another adult (presumably the male) hiding between two rocks.

I shot this while laying on the rocks along the water edge. No flash, no filters - just luck

I have only one comment to make regarding this image, superb photography. I gave this an 8 and I didn't even know it was a UP frog (MTU alumni).

Nice shot!

Good luck!

Already voted. Coming back for comments. This is an awesome shot! The muddy frog with just a little of the green coming through makes you think he's been sitting there forever. Great reflection as well. I gave this a 10.
