About Laying on my stomach in the wet muddy leaves at the edge of a bog, I waited patiently for this little fellow to surface with my camera and arms outstretched. Surface it did, but not in front of the lens, so I began to move my arms to the direction from where it now looks on, and when I thought everything was just right, the frog dove again. We played this game for about five minutes, then finally, I think I figured out it's pattern, as my little green playmate came up right in front of the lens. Without an active display on the back of the camera, I had no idea the the frog was in focus, but the cameras beep told me something was. This is the end result of my lay in the mud.

Just great... This shot was worth the effort. Glad your camara didn't get wet!! Your perseverance was well worth waiting for.
The focus is perfect. Those eyes are great. He is kind of cute actually! I think I could Kiss him if I was promised a prince charming.

Wow! Thank you for the Editor's Choice recognition. It's a very humbling experience and not one that I anticipated. Thank you.
I think the sharpness and depth might be attributed to PSCS2 allowing me to convert this image from the camera RAW data into 16 bit mode? It seems to keep a photos integrity without a lot of loss to interpolation. I also saved it at 96 DPI for upload.
thanks again everybody.
Brian
