A Reminder of Summer: Green Frog
"Frog In A Pond" Copyright Anne M. Freeman
I was wandering through my photos and came across this fine frog, hanging out in a shallow pond. I miss hearing them croak at night. They will be back, soon enough, though. (But first, I want to hear the Great Horned Owls hooting at each other in February, finding a mate.) I ended up fooling around with this photo, and enjoyed how it turned out. I purchased Photoshop not long ago and I’m having a blast with the techniques. I realize that some photographers are purists, and I admire your discipline and great skill. But, I’m just having too much fun to be disciplined!
Cheers!

ANNE FREEMAN IMAGES: Art of the Outdoors 
Photoshop is your friend 🙂 I look at it as I’m creating art, at least I hope so, so I have no problem enhancing a photo. As long as it stays within the realm of believability that is. I use Lightroom 3 and several plug-ins to do what ever I feel is needed to achieve the final image that was in my head when I pressed the shutter.
Love the frog!
I haven’t tried any of the plug-ins, yet. Still playing with Photoshop. I like to turn the photos into “paintings.” Not sure why, but they look so pretty to me. It may be a phase, but I sure am enjoying it! Thanks for stopping by again, Jeff. I do enjoy frogs.
