Face to face. by maggie2

Face to face.

I met this guy while walking today. What incredible eyes and colors they have. It was worth laying on the road to get it.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I do appreciate it.
Amazing portrait! WOW! Beautiful greens and his expression is priceless!

August 17th, 2011  
@jenrobcarr Jennifer, I "encouraged" him to move off the road when I finished with his photo shoot.
August 17th, 2011  
@kbuehl Kathy, I have a side view that may be perfect for your watercolor.
August 17th, 2011  
@ladydi Diana, of course I talked with him as he modeled for me.
August 17th, 2011  
@friendie Carole, I think he may have been thinking....what the hell is that big thing? :-)
August 17th, 2011  
@glyn I'm just going to start wearing a sign that says....does this camera and position make my butt look fat?
August 17th, 2011  
LOL !!!
August 17th, 2011  
Hahahaha! Love his expression, great capture!

Superb shot, love how you lay down in front of it, gave a fantastic POV!
August 18th, 2011

Sam
Stunning! I would have tried to kiss him - he looks just like a 'prince' kinda-guy!!
August 18th, 2011  
LOL his expression is wonderful. He sure does look like he is puckering up!
August 18th, 2011

August 18th, 2011  
I think he is in shock, coming face to face with a human Lol
August 18th, 2011

August 19th, 2011  
What a terrific shot!
August 19th, 2011  
He's adorable! Great shot, Margaret. The unusual angle is so great. I love his expression...maybe he's wondering why you are laying in the road. But he also looks kind of pleading...maybe saying "Stop taking photos and get me off of this road!"

I love frog shots. He posed well for you, especially for you laying on the ground in front of him to get this. Very nice!
August 23rd, 2011  
adorable! FAV!
August 24th, 2011  
Yes it was worth laying in the road, what a captivating shot! - a frog's-eye view. (Now Maggie, I don't mind that you go around laying in dangerous places for the sake of a "must have" shot, as long as I know that you can get out of the way "quick as a hiccup." Big :-) Always, Les x
