 This little guy lives in one of our window boxes. Trying to get him to sit down in the leaves so he was properly framed was a challenge in itself as he wanted to be up and looking about. The best framed out of about 25 turned out to have his nose and mouth out of focus. Darn! Although he does not sit down as far into the leaves here it is the crispest that I took.

RAW conversion using RSE set to auto exposure and auto white balance. -50 on both sharpness and detail extraction. Noise suppression set to 10 and color noise suppression set to 5.

Using Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10 cropped, intensified red and blue channels slightly using levels and curves, resized, USM at 80% contrast, .6 edge width, and threshold of 1.

Good capture of the frog though I wish the plant life in which he is nestled was in as good health as him. I found that to be somewhat of a detracting element of this well framed image.

Lovely frog and quite nicely surrounded in green. The frame is not prominent for most I'm sure but this is gorgeous!

Stunning "natural" frame. I can almost feel the textures, adorable look on the frog's face too.
