Deion: This was in Vermont on October 1, 2018

This photo was taken in Vermont when we flew to the North East to get fall colors. No Color, all green. The summer had been too dry and the fall too hot. Decided to look for other things to take photos of while there.

I brought the photo into Photoshop CC and darken the areas around the frog, then lighten the line of sight to the frog. Sharpen the frog and the area around it. Used Selective color to bring out the colors of the leaves and the frog.

Nice image and color tone. The frog is a little bit hard to see, to my eyes,as it meant to be.I would burn the right third a tad to reduce brightness in this area.   Posted: 01/06/2018 19:08:31

Hi Richard, It took some time before I noticed the frog which to me should be the focus point. If it had been give a bit more clarity and light, it would be more noticeable. I agree with Le about darken the left side. If you crop it a bit from all sides , the frog will be bigger and more visible.   Posted: 01/14/2018 13:43:47
