Bufo americanus fractaliensis
I have been very busy shooting frogs and toads over the last few nights as they continue to chorus in the ponds out back. Here is a close-up of singing toad with Fractalius Glow 100 applied.
Cloned out numerous flash generated specular highlights prior to running fractalius.

Look forward to comments.
Love this, Andrew! The fract is great and the eye is salvaged perfectly IMO!
Andrew, this is fantastic work! I love it. What a bizarre creature and method of attracting attention, then to be captured in an image like this - it's too cool!Reminds me of science fiction!

This is really a great base image and I love your fract work. I agree it's very very cool!
Yes, Very cool! Andrew, the fract filter was a perfect choice for this. I might be tempted to take a slice off the right. Awesome colors on the sac.
Nice image and application, Andrew.
Very interesting fract effect.
Killer creative. The throat is amazing. And the colors and detail. As much as I love it I would suggest more toad on the left and less black on the right. Do you have one framed like that? At some point I would love--with your permission--to run this in a Bulletin.

Hey Andrew,
I like Artie's idea on the room...but this turned out awesome! Love the colors!!!
Outstanding effect, Andrew. Love the colors.
Thanks folks for the kind words, very much appreciated.
Arthur, by all means feel free to use the image in a bulletin. I have shot several hundred images so far of chorusing frogs and toads and will be shooting more over the next few days. I will post an alternate fract of this toad in a moment.
