Hi Susan. Thanks!
Carole, I got it at Hobby Lobby (the boat, slightly damaged but easily fixed with glue) on clearance for a dollar since I already had the other fishing 'supplies'. They were also at Hobby Lobby as *Christ*mas ornaments (all in the same package).
Shu, thank you. There was very minimal PS work on this. ~lydia

Super cute idea. Mr. Toad is so clear I can feel the texture of his skin :) Susan Craig

Hey, I think I know that guy! Cute picy Lydia. Where did you get that little boat with all the little accessories - it's just the right size for your little friend and I'd like one for our cabin. I agree it might have been nice to see more of it. CJ

Clever all around!! It's one of those "puts a smile on my face" images. (Admirable PS work, too!) shu

Thanks, guys. It seems that only the men are relating to my fishing shot. *grin* What does that say about me I wonder... :)
Yes, Nico, you're right. There's a fine line between getting the boat in and leaving the BG blurred. ~Lydia

Super, Lydia. You're off to a cracking start. Your model is amazing... adorable. I am trying with each pic in Eligible to also find some element of constructive critique, but here it is difficult, to be honest. I might have tried with a little more DOF to see if could get the front end of the little canoe better into focus? But perhaps you were quite intentional with the shallow DOF approach. Compliments!

I Love Your Creativity Lydia. It create a big smile for me too.

Ummm... sort of, dt. It's actually a grass scene created by God... but I printed it out. :) Mr Toad does deserve compliments for getting his modeling job done in less than two minutes... Then, back to his real 'fishing' location outdoors. Thanks! ~Lydia

He deserves a compliment, too! Wonderful idea, Lydia, and executed perfectly. Did you create the water, too? -dtallakson
