    Our grandsons have two giant bullfrogs in a huge aquarium. This is one. Topaz simplify plus some other slight work with color.

    A fun image Hazel! I like the colours you have brought out. I might clone out that one stick to the left of the head.

    Cute image, Hazel. I'd remove the stick

    Hazel, your strong eye for composition/ design is apparent yet again! Love the diagonal placement and overall juxtaposition of the elements. I also like the processing, the color saturations are unique and fit well. Would wish for the foot to be complete and perhaps just a little more headroom. This is a creative, fun image.

    I love the whole concept of this image. Great to see above and below the water. Excellent processing. Great composition. Love those eyes!

    I think the lines you included added a lot to the image, and I agree with Anita about the eyes. The arms reaching out add a lot, too. I also agree with Anita about the appeal of seeing the frog above and below the water.

    Clever. And interesting. I think the head needs to go darker to match the body (that is obviously underwater). Biggest no-no? The clipped toe.
