About the Image(s)
This red-eyed green tree frog was photographed on plexiglass. I
duplicated it for a step and repeat to create the sky divers, but the
green background no longer worked, so I tried sky, but still not happy,
so I went to out local Branford supply pond via Google Earth. I used
lens blur on the pond and added the parachutes in PS.

Hi Lisa,
Very creative. I think I prefer the clouds over the pond. It would be nice to have some sense of movement. Maybe blur the frogs a bit? Posted: 01/08/2025 22:37:32

Lisa, This is a very creative idea that has been well pre-visualised and well executed. Given the storyline you are trying to create, I prefer your Original 2 image which makes it abundantly clear what the frogs are doing. To enhance the storyline, it would have been good to see five of the frogs with hands overlapped and in a horse-shoe formation with the sixth one flying in to join and make the circle complete. Perhaps you could add some Motion Blur to that frog to add gravitas to the composition. Posted: 01/11/2025 12:16:55
Lisa - this is adorable! What a great idea. This is a lot of 'cutting out', but well worth it. This gave me some ideas. I would LOVE to see just ONE parchute starting to open. Please submit more of these very creative idea development shots. Posted: 01/12/2025 17:04:04
Lisa, Such a fun image. I like both the clouds and tree version. Other's have made some good suggestions. Posted: 01/17/2025 23:48:08
