Description
I'm quite proud of this, but the truth is most (if not all) of my good photos are about 80% luck. An all terrain vehicle was coming down the road and I was trying to shoo the little frog out of the way, but it took some doing. At first all I did was intrigue him ("who is this strange two-legged being dancing around in front of me?"), which led to this shot. The selective color thing is really growing on me.
A side note: The blur in the background was added in Photoshop to make it look more 3-D. I don't think I've changed enough things here to justify putting it in the Mixed Medium gallery, though.
Thanks for your comments on "clear water frog". Tofi, I'll upload a cat photo tomorrow (to get you off my back).

What a cute little frog. Would love to view him up close. Excellent capture and what a tender heart you must have.Thank you for sharing:)
Is it really luck, or is it talent? Maybe you should give yourself more credit- after all, you might perceive your ability to see this as luck, others would not have even noticed the opportunity... I think its pure talent! Excellent photography!
Yes sure is a cute lill fella lol :P and a very good shot + selective color! Thanks for sharing mate! :)
Beautiful froggie! He looks real proud that you noticed him... Great job on the shot and the coloring.
Ha ha ha not so easy, my friend.....I love what I have seen( your cats)..and they are just sooo adorable and deserve place in here as well... This little froggie is one....very brave, little creature ,so very well photographed!!! I do like the background....nice work.
So cute, so small, so lovely, so amazing and lovely selective colouring my friend... Interesting how his/her pose is :) Very well done.. Thank you and have a lovely day... JOE
very good this capture and i like vety much your pov... Cute frog!!! Good day and hugs ;)
very nice these two little green marks on the grey!
I see you have a color version too, but I prefer this one. I think your instinct to desaturate the background and highlight the frog, is brilliant. Often things seem so much brighter in real life, when we look at the photo's later they seem "Less". This one is superb!!
I love this ... and I love selective coloring ... you did perfect!!! May i ask what your technique is? The only way i know how to do that is if I use picasa2... and then I can only select one area to color and not 2 for example, like you did here.
just browsing through your gallery and this one is excellent...the selective coloring is magic!
