Decisions

One afternoon we were walking along the trail of Chinqua Penn where the stream trickles to the lake. We were stopped by a really colorful dragon fly just flitting around landing here and there along the stream. I was glad for the distraction, because when I looked down I saw this little orange frog. I had not seen one in years and was excited to see one again. I only had my telephoto lens with me, but I was able to play around with it for a bit, and capture this neat perspective. The lens kept the frog and directly in front of him in focus, but the rest out of focus. It creates an illusion of looking through an eye at frog. I called the image Decisions, because the lens gives the illusion of him either staying in place or hopping forward, so the decision is his to make. It reminds me of the decisions we all have each day, do we go forward or stand still.
