[OM] Re: [photo] Lily pads

[Chuck Norcutt]

I'd concentrate on toning down the lily.  Both frog and flower belong in 
the scene but I think you intended the frog as the main subject.  I 
think the lily's brightness is too much competition for the frog and 
toning it down will help.  When my eye does get to the frog it's also 
immediately drawn to the "frog poop" or whatever it is trailing off 
behind him.  That also prevents my eyes from staying on the subject and 
  I think I'd clone that out.
