While staying in a well known chain motel in North Carolina I kept hearing scratching noises through out the night. The room also smelled slightly musty. When packing up in the morning i noticed something moving behind the lamp base. It was a toad! With the help of my son and daughter as animal wranglers I took a picture of it outside our room in the crotch of a small tree.
I wish I had just a touch more depth of field on the top of the head.
God's blessings to all,
Love the overall gold reflection in this, Chris. I also love the way the eye and the center of the tree are lined up as the focal points, drawing you into the center of your image. The best part, though, is the stubby whorls on the tree that mimic the "landscape" of the toad! Excellent!!!
Chris
I can just visualize the wranglers at work!!!! The light is very nice and I like the position of the toad. More DOF would have been nice but.....you have the eye sharp and I think it works for that reason. It's helpful to post larger sized images as it's easier to critique.
Toadily Yours
