Default A boy and a toad

Of course he called it a frog... and there was no telling him different.

Awe these are beautiful! I love the composition and the contrast the most.
Most of all I love how candid these pictures are!
Great job!

I wish it was a closeup. Maybe crop the first one to be closer around the boys head and the frog?

They just seem to go together don't they? These shots are really wonderful. What great memories.

Wow these are gorgeous shots. I love his expression of wonder as he observes the toad in the first shot. And the expression of enjoyment and the poise of his finger, I can imagine the glee on his face at the toad's reaction when his finger touched it. These shots are priceless and you did a wonderful job at capturing them. TFS.

Thanks so much for all your kind comments. I'm pretty proud of these shots because I did everything manually and they actually came out good.
I took TWOR's advice and cropped the first one to make a closeup.

Its nice but I think I prefer the first one. Don't really know why.

Thanks Shelly. Did you mean the boy of the toad?
