Description

Our little red eyed tree frog, Trickster.

EDIT: Thank you all - this is not my favorite one but wanted to see how the idea would be received. So, I appreciate all your wonderful comments! This is our pet frog, Trickster. I bought cloud paper at the scrapbook store and purchased an umbrella ornament on eBay. I then hung it from our banana stand (LOL-I know, I know :-) Then I put the frog on it and snapped. Because the umbrella was hanging truly vertical he didn't like it and it didn't look right so in photoshop I rotated the canvas 35 degrees and cloned out the string that would hang the umbrella on the tree. That is about it. Unfortunately, I had to shoot at a higher ISO so I got some noise. Going to re-do this tomorrow with more light - it was pretty cold here and these guys like warm weather so I couldn't play too much today.
