My thanks to my toad friend for an afternoon's shooting. We became friends when I saved him from drowning in the pool skimmer where he was stuck today. He appears quite grumpy in the photo, but he was a sweetheart. He happily did everything I asked him to, although he was a bit distracted by a fly... *sigh*
I don't know how to anticipate a score on this one... it's my first really heavily processed image that I've submitted. I think folk'll either love it, or hate it. *sigh* But, really... what can be exciting about a photograph of a camera??
I guess I'll find out with the ribbon winners. *grin*

I'm always so amazed by people who get such great pictures of frogs, little and big. I've never been able to see one that sat still long enough to even get a blurry photo - much less get all posed, situated . . . . or shoot . . . Cheegirl puts fake eyelashes on them sometimes :)
Anyway. . .all my respect and hat bowing off to you miss LydiaToo! This is awesome!
And BLESS you for saving the little fellow :)

| A bit over-staged, it becomes cluttered with all the flowers. The frog was a nice idea, but would have made a better company to the camera by itself I think. Still on the better half of the submissions for this challenge. |

| Interesting setting, although it seems way oversmoothed to me, it distracts from your composition |
