This is a bullfrog that I photographed last spring in one of the two vernal ponds on our property. I cloned out several mites and a mosquito because I wanted the focus to be completely on the frog. I added a white vignette, toned the image, applied the palette knife and dry brush filters, and added one of my texture overlays.

Christopher, I like the color toning and vignette. I might tone down the bright spot near the mouth opening just a bit. Nicely done.

Like the how you've PPd this - and the color, Christopher. He's a handsome fella:) But the RH eye looks a sunken and a little dead to me. The left one though has just enough light in it to breathe a nice little spark of life into it. Kora

Thanks Denise, Kora, and Paul. Appreciate the comments. Kora, I've lightened the RH eye some to give a bit more life. I also toned down the bright spot as suggested by Denise. Let me know what you all think.

Like the repost Christopher especially the darkening of the eye. Nice low angle too.
