October 2025 - Frog Meadow
About the Image(s)
My partner and I took a road trip in August and one of the stops was a small resort called "Frog Meadow" in Vermont. Given the name, the owners placed a variety of frogs in discreet nooks throughout the grounds. I especially liked this one since it's just minding its own business perched on a stump. That was the vibe of the entire place!
Used a Sony A 7, ISO 50, 38mm, f6.3, 1/15 sec. Processed in Lightroom

Hi Douglas - The Frog genre is a new one to me but I can see the attraction. I like the depth of field used in your shot to help separate the subject from the background. To me, it feels like the impact of the image might be enhanced with a couple more edits. One consideration would be to crop up some from the bottom (maybe up to the plant towards the bottom of the frame) to raise the presence of the subject. Another consideration would be to darken the white areas in the far background around and between the tree limbs. Darkening the background may also help the "star of the show" be more noticeable in the image. Posted: 10/09/2025 01:01:10
