I'm not sure what's the purpose of the extensive blurry space at the bottom of the photo. Some - OK, but more than a half - too much, IMO.

Just a terrific capture of that frog. I'll bet this would score even higher without the bottom blurred part of the water. Say crop just below the bubbles. That would really make that frog "pop" for the wow factor. Still, an excellent capture.

To much empty space in the bottom... also some sensor dust.

That bit of reflection is what really makes this work for me. Nice.

Great capture of the frog and the reflection. I wonder how this would look with most of the bottom cropped, though?

Nice shot. Would have more impact on me if it were cropped up a bit. So much wasted space at the bottom of the shot.

Perfect focus, dof and reflective quality. If I were to change anything, I might remove that brown blob in the upper left. Nice!!!
