'Mating Frogs'
Luc Rooman

This photo is a double exposure made in De Melle Turnhout Belgium when I arrived at the water I saw the beautiful sunrise and quickly walked into the water to make the first shot so that the bottom half of the photo was black. I went looking for the mating frogs and fortunately still found on top of their eggs and so I put the 2 images together in the camera.

Judge's comment: It is the moody evening light both above and below which first attracted me to this image. Then, after a short moment the narrative of the frog story unfolds as we survey the under portion of the behaviour.
