I had this shot for Band Names ... I'd never heard of the band, and thought it was so obscure that noone would believe such a stupid name was real, so entered Old Mr. Toad here. But, when I showed a friend, he'd listened to them while he was young.

Go figure. WHO names a band this? Weird.

This is adorable! I'd expect to see this photo in a children's book for sure.

Pretty good staging on this one. Colors are nice but not too sharp.

Lol, I like the props you were able to pull together. It would have been nice to have a bit more shadows to add some further depth to the shot. It almost seems too bright and evenly lit to be outdoors.

Love the creativity evident here, all the small details (and one very cooperative toad) really make this worth a 10!

Is this the shot where Ben said we might recognize one of his girls being in the photo?? LOL! :-p (assuming this is Lydia - which it is of course!)

Fantastic set up. That's not real water right? Is it a print out?

Ha!

"Old Mr. Toad is a jolly good fellow!
His temper is sweet, disposition is mellow!
And now that his bubble of pride is quite busted
We know that he knows that his friends can be trusted."
