This is such an adorable subject. And I had to look to see the frog. Love it! Your framing is interesting and understandable considering you wanted to get the frog in the scene. This is a tough one as I kind of feel it may have worked better with a horizontal view and with a straightened 'horizon'. But again, this is a tough choice to get both the little girl and the frog. Maybe a square crop would have helped..by taking off much of the top and bottom. And the black rope could be left out.

The colors are so vibrant and perfect for a summer pool scene. But in a photograph I would have cut back on the saturation so as to try to sustain the clarity of the sweet little girl's face. The red reflection may disappear with less saturation. Red is a tough color to control let alone in a bright sunny pool!

Sorry to give so much opinion. I just think this capture has some great options!! You knew a moment to catch when you saw it!! Thank you for sharing and good luck!

Your colors

She looks like she's having a grand time.

Interesting angle you've chosen here. Focus on your Granddaughter is excellent and colors are natural. Wonderful entrant for this contest.

Best of luck!

Deborah

There is something about kids and pool that always make for great pictures. The frog is a riot and she seems to keeping her eye on it.

All the colors work well with the combination of the aqua and bright red really look great!

Adorable picture!

Cute just doesn't do it justice. The smile and the tight crop bring this to life perfectly. The pop of color and blue water isolate her and the action of paddling. Great story telling.

What a delightful picture. Both she and the frog seem to be having a great time on that boogie board. She looks like she's the real outdoorsy type. She's going to have a lot of fun growing up.

A very exciting shot. Makes me want to go swimming. The vivid colors of the raft and water really have a summer theme to it. Reminds me of a commercial for pool toys or something to that effect. The angle of the shot also makes it more kinetic, like a lot of action's taking place.
