Frog on Lily Pad Contemplates Life

Vickey and I made it to Millers Marsh with the lilies in full bloom, frogs all over the place and in a range of positions, and mushrooms starting to pop. We were able to take several photos as we started our hike around the marshy lake until my shoes started falling apart! Amazingly, Vickey had duct tape in her car and we taped my shoes back together but we couldn't finish the full hike (visited a soft bog instead before deciding we should head in and not push our luck). The was created using multiple exposure using Topaz Textures -- no frog was kind enough to be on the lily pad, facing the right direction, and next to a lily in full bloom and reflection! I then, for fun, use solarization filter in Color Efex since it didn't look real anyway.
A view of my shoes in extras album.

@pamknowler Thanks Pam! We'd been joking on the trail as we headed back to the car that if only we'd had duct tape we'd be in good shape...and then she found a roll in the glove box!

Beautiful in every way. Fav. Saw your shoes. What a pity it let you down! Until a few decades ago shoes would last for ever not like today.

Really fun and creative processing... it looks like a marsh fantasy-land. Your froggie has a perfect pose. :) Too bad, about the shoes.

I'm taken to fairy tale land. I'm looking for the princess. What a great creation. Looking at your shoes, we seem to have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. Well persevered.

What an interesting shot. Love your processing

This processing looks really cool. I like how strongly it brings out the frog's texture!

There's something about this image that makes me think of Buddhism. Hmmm . . . .
