Greatshot Howard, of Mr. Toad, of Toad Hall, well known character in "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame.

The_Adventures_of_Old_Mr_Toad.

And even as they looked, his throat began to swell and swell and swell, until it was no wonder that Jimmy Skunk had thought that he was in danger of blowing up. And then, when it stopped swelling, there came again those beautiful little notes, so sweet and tremulous that Peter Rabbit actually held his breath to listen. There was no doubt that Old Mr. Toad was singing just as he had said he was going to, and it was just as true that his song was one of the sweetest if not sweetest of all the chorus from and around the Smiling Pool. It was very hard to believe, but Peter and Jimmy and Unc' Billy both saw and heard, and that was enough. Their respect for Old Mr. Toad grew tremendously as they listened.

Hi Howard,
this was really close. Very good details and DOF.
Very nice colours and good use of the flash.
I like the POV and pose too.
Well done, my friend.

Have a great weekend.

Very cool! I love close-ups like this.
When take the pieces and realize each one fragment is a miracle, it's an even greater illustration of God's artistry!

Hi Howard,
For toads being such ugly creatures, I've noticed they have been gifted with beautiful eyes. Excellent job as always!

ps I'm seeing the light at the end of my tunnel. I still have much to do.
