The surface of lily pads can be messy. I was going to edit out a bit of the “muck” when I realized it consisted of flies, a frog’s meal of choice. I kept them in it made for a more realistic picture.
I’m glad you kept the picture natural. The “mess” adds interest to the composition and makes it more realistic. I happen to like “realistic” most of the time.

That must be one happy frog! Great image and sighting, Belinda. The frogs usually hop back in the water the instant they see me approaching.

I agree. Leaving them in really makes the frog appear to be making a meal choice – humm, which one for lunch? Salty or sweet? 😉 Great capture.
