This Common Frog (Rana temporaria) was taken in a friends garden. Having caught it with a net from his pond we decided to photograph it in a large shallow tray with a small stone with a lillypad on top covering the rock. We then placed it onto the pad to be photographed. I made a lot of ajustments as wanted the reflections of the frog also within the frame, Also I was lying on my belly to be on the same plain as the frog. Nikon D3, Nikon 105mm macro ISO 800@F8 @80sec.Handheld,Natural light.The only work on this image was curves and a little sharpen highpass.

Niiiice picture. The setup does not hint that you were in a controlled situation.

Beautiful capture.
