    Default Goliath Frog Fracted

    It has been a while since I made my way over to OOTB...today I visited a frog exhibit at Ontario's Royal Botanical Gardens where a Goliath Frog skeleton was on display. Goliath Frogs are the largest frogs in the world - this skeleton probably measures 12-14 inches in length. And what better filter is there to use on frogs than Fractalius

    Hi Andrew, great to see you here again! I think you meant "fracted" so I changed the title for you. I love this treatment, it looks like a frog "fetish" made out of gold. For some reason I'm thinking of Gollum...

    I agree, terrific use of the Fractalius filter. Love the negative space too. Well done.

    He at least looks happy without his skin, very nice. I am going to have to find some frogs this summer...hmmmm thinking about that, frogs mean swamps which also means mosquitos..., I'll stick to golf

    This is quite dramatic Andrew, and would look striking on canvas! I too like the negative space:)

    Wonderful colours, lovely composition and presentation

    Kind regards,

    Hey, Andrew, nice to see you in OOTB. Love the fract treatment and the abstract look of the skeleton (and the dark background).

    Glad to see you posting frogs again even if it's a skeleton! Very nice processing. I've been gone too, my desktop computer's motherboard died and it's been in the shop for 3 weeks or more.
