Tried something different...would love to hear some honoust opinions!
I personally like the idea, but the toad (bufu bufo) looks off-centred, I don't like the sharp piece of grass in the upper right corner, the toad could have been lower (showing more blue) and last but not least...the position of the animal...I found the animal this way and it was more dead then alive (I guess it shows...)

I shouldn't comment, I don't have an eye for that kind of stuff. But the straw right in the middle of the photo would have bothered me if I was the photographer and the animal is a bit off-center, now that you mention it.

wow awesome finds and pics everyone!!

the straw in the middle bothers me most - makes the poor critter look like it's been skewered
but then again it could be a not so subtle comment on the condition of the toad, whereupon the straw to the right provides the balance to the toad being off center - the entire composition bearing uncomfortable allusions to the crucifixion as well as witch burnings (the stake and the pile of flame fodder beneath); however, the full symbolic relevance of this piece can only be at length expounded upon by someone who needs to write a paper for an art class
overtired in a goofy mood - is it showing?

Thanks Rhea, I´ve read your comment a couple off times now, but each time I read it I get more confused
