The photo, as
taken, encompassed more of the surrounding area around the frog. There were
some very distracting elements in the original, especially behind the
frog so I cropped the photo. Maybe too much. I attempted getting
closer to the frog to eliminate the distractions but he/she did not take
kindly to me invading his/her space and immediately disappeared under water.
Typical of most wild creatures.
As to camera settings it was taken on
aperture priority at f5.6 and 1/50 shutter. The Photo was taken where I live in
Central Pa. As far as, "What kind of frog is it?" We have two choices. Either a
Bullfrog or a Green Frog. Because of size, color variations of both
species and location, my conclusion is that this is a Green Frog as that is
the most likely species to be at this location. I have seen Green Frogs here
before but never a Bullfrog. But I wouldn't bet the farm on my conclusion.
Mother Nature is noted for occasionally putting creatures in places they don't
normally inhabit.
Thank you for
your comments. And to this group in general. As an amateur and never having had
any formal training in photography, I practically never post and
never comment on the work of others. I don't feel I am qualified to
judge the work of others. There are certain areas of photography, paintings and
other art forms that I do not like but that doesn't mean that others
feel the same way I do. In fact people have paid "big bucks" for things
I would not give a second look. :-)
