I've tried out your suggested crop, and while it does make quite a difference to
the picture, I can't decide whether I like it better or not. Nevertheless, it's
always good to hear other people's opinions!

I usually try to take my nature shots more or less as I find them, and this
holds true for this picture. I wasn't out to take photos, but had to move the
"pond" to do some work, and noticed that the frog (who's often there) was either
not to bothered, or too lazy to swim off, so I grabbed my camera. Having the
pond out of its hole allowed me to get down to near water level to take the
pic. In fact, the frog even allowed me to wipe the duckweed from its head, but
dived before I could get some more photos.
