    Default Frog-scape Fractalius

    One from Horseshoe Lake. Leaned out over the canoe for a lower perspective with my 12-24mm lens with polarizer and 2-stop grad attached. Used the rounded pre-set and masked back in the frog's eye and reduced opacity of the fractalius layer to about 65%.

    Look forward to comments.

    Crazy good Andrew, I love the perspective and the fract. work. The colors and the scene fit so well together. My all time favorite of yours. I would take a sliver off the top, I don't think you need the extra peek on the left.

    Andrew, I keep coming back to this and that peek on the left is starting to grow on me. I might keep it after all....

    Thanks a bunch folks for the kind words. I appreciate them very much. I usually find the big bullfrogs to be very cooperative. This guy stayed still for about 15 - 20 minutes giving me time to shoot various comps, but this was my favorite.
