Benjamin Liew
yes i love this frog idea… its really awesome. is this a pet ?
I would like to see him on non-frog related things like… sunglasses or a snail shell. hey if you can get the frog on a snail shell on a bigger snail on a turtles shell on an elephants back on a killer whales back on a semi trailer on a small cargo ship on a bigger cargo ship on an even bigger cargo ship carried by 42 massive helicopters driven by 42 pilot frogs and 42 co-pilot frogs, I’ll hang it on my wall for sure!!!
Mel Brackstone
Settle petal :)
Benjamin Liew
uh… sorry for that random rant… i think i got struck by a monday anomoly. i tend to meander away from reality on an often occasion and find myself in some sort of other world.
love this pic though!
Helene Kippert

Thanks Ben, I’ll be sure to let you know if I can line up the helicopters. Thanks Helene

Mel Brackstone
Thanks for your comments, Andrew, Marina, Belinda and Danielle!
Caro
wow. beautiful.
Benjamin Liew
any news on the froggiecopters?
Mel Brackstone
bit of a problem with that Ben, it seems all helicopter pilots with green skin have been grounded!
Benjamin Liew
oh no! what about a toy helicopter? or a matchbox car.. you could make this tiny frog look humungous :)
Mel Brackstone
ahhh….trouble is, this was just a poor little baby that we plucked from obscurity so that we could help him star in a couple of photos….after the shoot we dropped him back onto the lotus flower, and after a couple more shots he jumped back into the pond, never to be seen again…..perhaps when summer returns I’ll take some props with me back to the pond :)
Benjamin Liew
i thought he was your pet… he looks so friendly!
Mel Brackstone
I couldn’t bear the thought of keeping one of these little cuties locked up in a glass tank…..much prefer to terrorise them at the lotus pond once every couple of months :)
Janine Fabre
Wow! What an awesome shot!
