TOM,s Toad works well .
THe texture of the green and black squares and diagonal placement add movement to the very still toad whose texture is very nice.

Thanks Niamh!, now I'll have nightmares with people French kissing toads.. I think for kicks I'll stick with my usual red wine for now..

The texture on the skin is just amazing. The bottom makes me associate the shot with computer graphics tools (professional deformation) where the bottom grid is an ever present anchoring element.

this shot is great fun and i love the texture on the toad's back!
i was reading in the paper the other day about some species or other of toad that
folks get high on by licking them - I don't know if it's true (hope not) but if so, Tom, i hope you weren't saving this fella for a special occasion!

Texture x 2. Nice job and luckily you caught mr Toad before the princess came by and kissed him:-)

Thanks. I believe it's textured skin wrapped around the structure of an amphibian, sitting on a textured-structure.

Hi, Tom.
Beautyful frog. What did u have in mind about matching the theme - the green structure, the frog skin itself or both?
