I found a group of tadpoles living in this brilliant yellow-green algae water. The water had collected over the summer in a loose roll of clear plastic.

I took the photograph with my Pentax k5 and a Super Takumar 85mm f1.8 with an Olympus macro adapter. I used the available late afternoon sunlight.

The colors are pretty close to what I was seeing in person, and I made sure to keep the highlights from being over exposed.
