We had some torrential rain yesterday...you could hear all the washes flowing! I thought this fella looked very cute hiding in the weeds!

With the oof foreground elements, you've created a real sense of peering into this toad's hideout.

Excellent again, Eirini. Love the low, eye level perspective, the toad's perfect position in the frame, and the way you got the toad's entire face and hands in focus, while keeping everything else soft. The toad hiding out among the flowers makes a captivating image. :toast:

Love the expression, Eirini. I think you could get him a job as a banker.

Wonderful scene! So glad you included all the plants. The low angle and voyeuristic effect, peeking into its hiding place, adds so much to this image.
