Ben Franklin?? Is that you?

I had taken a picture of a frog in a drainage pipe and a small pool of water I'd found in someone's backyard while at work. I was showing the picture to my mom (who's an artist) and she noticed a face in the corner... It's a pretty hefty crop, and I had to dodge the highlights to make the face standout, but I think it resembles Mr. Franklin pretty well!

I'll buy it, Luke ! Glad you explained what this photo was - and well done to extract the image.

Ok, now I see him. For some reason, I could not before. Then, later, he popped right out of the thumbnail. Very cool.

Thats pretty amazing! Now if you could find this in some french toast or something, you might be able to do something on ebay! :wink:

Amazing! Now what is Ben doing in a drainage ditch? Probably another one of his hair-raising experiments… Great find, Mom; congrats on the EP Luke.
