Spot lit green frog
« on: April 25, 2017, 19:08:19 »
This fellow was captured last weekend.  Early in the morning, with light just coming over the rocks and down onto the pond.

Pan GH4,  100-400,  hand held.  Slight crop from the right for comp.

Advice and comments always appreciated.

Cheers

Randy

I hope I'm not reincarnated as a fly next time around.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

He does look a bit fierce to me, so get Davids comment!

Cheers

Actually from the under side of the throat one might guess that this 🐸 has a yellow belly. Still it likely has a long sticky tounge, most 🐸 do.

That's a fine looking frog now that can see him on a computer display rather than a "smart" phone. The lighting and composition is great. I'm still glad I'm not a fly.
