Very nicely captured and a great fit for the challenge. Regards, Najinsky

Thanks, everybody. This was an "impromptu," something I saw while I was taking a bath, and I delayed draining out the water until I took the shot. In fact, I took four shots, and then looked at the results, and decided I liked the first one best. Getting it "right" on the first shot is not a common experience, so I will be happy with the results on this one, regardless of the outcome of the voting.

Nice shot, good texture. I could also see a frog with the legs folded against the body ~Stan

I thought it was a snake or at least ... the skin thereof?

Very original and well composed Charlie. ~ Regards Bob

Cool! Interesting. Different. Well done.

I hadn't noticed the face until after I posted the image. I can see two eyes, two high cheek bones, a bit of a sly smile, and a tongue sticking out at me. But I can't name the animal. While processing this shot (minor adjustments in levels, brightness, and sharpness), all I was concentrating on was getting the texture of the bubbles to stand out within, and around, the sponge.

kelly--i'm wearing the strongest glasses possible and also see what appears to be a frog!! you know, once that frog-like image gets in my mind, it's hard to see anything else!! LOL shu

I think I see it too... So shu, is it close to a smiling frog's face that you see? Or am I revealing a need for my prescription's tweaking? ;)
