Frog-scape Fractalius

[Andrew McLachlan]

One from Horseshoe Lake. Leaned out over the canoe for a lower perspective with my 12-24mm lens with polarizer and 2-stop grad attached. Used the rounded pre-set and masked back in the frog's eye and reduced opacity of the fractalius layer to about 65%.

Look forward to comments.

Frogs are such willing subjects, this is a cool image. I imagine original is wild...Nice perspective and detail.

Andrew you have the most amazing frog pictures! I love all of them including this one. Wonderful composition and nice fract work.

Crazy good Andrew, I love the perspective and the fract. work. The colors and the scene fit so well together. My all time favorite of yours. :S3::S3:I would take a sliver off the top, I don't think you need the extra peek on the left.

Andrew, how do you get these guys to stand still?:S3: This image is amazing. Super perpective, love the depth of the image. I agree with Denise...the best of the series. Excellent!

Beyond fantastic!

Andrew, I keep coming back to this and that peek on the left is starting to grow on me. I might keep it after all....:2eyes2:

Great perspective and underlying photo. That frog looks like a professional model!

[Andrew McLachlan]

Thanks a bunch folks for the kind words. I appreciate them very much. I usually find the big bullfrogs to be very cooperative. This guy stayed still for about 15 - 20 minutes giving me time to shoot various comps, but this was my favorite.

Wonderful composition and fract work, Andrew:S3: They must be like pets.

Very very cool, Andrew :S3:
