Mating Season

I came across an image of this amphibious mating pair during one of my visits to the Singapore Botanical Gardens. It might have been better compositionally if this pair of toads were facing the opposite direction. However, I decided here to include more of the leaf to show the eggs on it. In my opinion, one can always make exceptions when it comes to breaking the basic rules of composition. However, the visual impact of the final image should be preserved in such circumstances. I like the simplicity and dreamy mood of the whole picture.

Four Leaves Two Buds One Dragonfly

This is another image that I have captured from the Singapore Botanical Gardens during my visits last year.
The colours and pattern of the subject are all natural. The only thing that I am demonstrating here is my perception of an ordinary place but full of photographic potentials. This image is also served as sample of the effectiveness of top lighting condition. A polarizer was utilized to minimize the reflection of the water and increased the saturation of the colours.
