Photo was taken midday indoors but under a glass roof (botanical garden). Had to focus through some leaves to get this shot, so never had the ability to change my angle without the lens being obscured by the leaves. Unfortunately, this meant I had to tolerate the brightspot on the right hand side of the frog. I tried to tone this down by switching to monotone sepia, which worked pretty well, and doesn't seem as blown out.
Also, was shooting at very high iso 3600 since I had my 55-250 lens on max aperture of f/5.6 and was struggling with shake (no tripod)..needed to bump the iso up to get shorter shutter speeds...so suffered from a noisy that seems a little out of focus.
PP was simple:

Adjusted some sliders in LR3 (exposure, brightness, blacks etc)

Nice shot! This definitely caught my attention here in this challenge. I do agree that it would be neat if it were sharper and the white spot was toned down a bit... IMO, the composition is perfect.
