Photo assignment cropping: Before and after

Original

Edited

The picture on the top is Mr.Farley's original picture. The one on the bottom is my edited picture. I fooled around with the colors a bit. I also cropped it for rule of thirds, the stuff in the back, the leaf, and the frog all use about the same amount of space with the background taking up the rest. That also is balancing elements. I cropped it so that's the rule of cropping.
