Notes on Image

Gallery 1: 4. Winged Stone Garden Frogs (May 2007 in Toronto)

12x18 inches. Canon Rebel XT with Canon 35 mm lens; 1/125 second; f/8; ISO 200.

I photographed these evil-looking lawn ornaments at a garden centre temporarily set up in the parking lot of the local grocery superstore. The frogs were on the bottom of a shelf, in the shade. I like the strong colours of the frogs, their fanciful shapes, and the fact that I managed to successfully balance two centres of interest in the photograph (with the eyes of the separate frogs on both the right and left of the image). I still don’t understand why they put wings on the frogs.
