I shoot mostly natural shots and when I came across this pickerel frog I thought it would be a good opportunity to add another frog shot. As I was setting up he went into a defensive position. He continued to do this each time I shot (with a fill flash).
He was also one of the largest pickerels I have seen.

This is an amazing capture - not many people get to see this animal behaving this way, because most people don't care enough to know that it even exists..
however, the mulch that makes up the backdrop is distracting, especially against the similarly colored/patterned frog. Nothing that i would call a complaint, perhaps maybe constructive criticism. The exposure, DoF, and focus are spot on.
