That frog definitely looks like it was edited in to me.

If not, it was definitely placed there. There's no way it could get up there by itself.

Frog is 100% photoshopped in. It has a completely different light source.

I mean people do do bad composites using original photos they've taken, mainly photoshopping the moon back into the images.

But I doubt the person that made these images photographed any part of it, the mushrooms are very well taken.

To me the frustrating thing about the mushroom and frog image is that the badly added frog really detracts from the image. It's just so jarring, and as you mentioned the mushrooms by themselves are a great image.

There is no way someone took that wonderfully composed, exposed and well lit mushroom photo and that decent frog photo with the intention of smashing them together with all the grace of a toddler smashing a breadstick into a plastic plate, and if they did their aesthetic sense has bi-polar.

You'll never rise to the rank of Official White House Photographer with talk like that. Remember: "Aim High"

As a forum, we should book a 1 hour photography lecture by whoever the White House photographer is right now (I believe it's multiple people? They've all managed to nail the 'not good photo' style very well at least), just so we can sit there, and eat popcorn.
