I also agree. Frogs aren't what I typically consider beautiful but this one - and this shot - definitely is.

thank you. I got lucky she didn't jump in the water before I spotted her. Ever walk past a puddle and just here them hit the water one by one and you're too late with each next step? ... maybe it's just me :)

I am not a big frog fan, but you completely captured this animals beauty.
