Frogs

What a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, shooting frogs.
What started off as a experiment with a tree frog in a conch shell ended up being one heck of a funny time. The short version is that while shooting the frog-shell, I decided to put the tree frog on a tomato. Well, the tree frog crawled deep into the shell. I went and found another frog, then two and snail. I still need to do some cleaning up of the images but wanted to share them now.

    Hi Brendan,

    Love the frogs - specially the simplicity of the second frame.

    Nice concept and execution! I think what amuses me the most about the frogs on the tomatoes is that they remind me of women who use those balance balls to exercise. The second frog in the first shot seems to be hanging a bit off the back end, there.

    I too like the simplicity of #2. I don't think it's possible to see a frog and not smile. Thanks for that. :D

    Very nicely done. I like the poses and the milky white bg.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
