My grandson's Toad

Medina, MN

Knowing that I was looking for "something small" for my photo challenge, my 8 year old grandson brought me this toad. I could not pass up the opportunity.

Good idea to combine the two shots using PS, showing overlapping areas. The different angles add the information of the two photos. -Gerald

Nicely done, Jim. I think it is better with two hands and with the toad at two angles, than it would have been with only one image alone.

Re two hands - The shots were taken in the early evening with a little fill flash, so the backgrounds were dark. I then put them both into layers using PS Elements, aligned, blended the edges a bit - and this is the result.

The biggest problem we had was the toad continuing to hop off his hand. LOL

Very Nice, but how did you put the two hands together like that? Nice photoshopping? Traveller
