Frog Jacuzzi

Taken recently in my back yard.  This fellow was sitting in this spot, apparently enjoying the water fall effect.

Panasonic GH4  100-400

Advice and comments always appreciated.

Cheers

I like very much how the water flowing around his body melts him into the scene

This is a super portrait. The longish exposure gives the water a dreamy feel as your frog sits motionless.
This is a striking frog portrait.

I really like it.  The choice of shutter speed is great for the water.

On a budget one can shower a frog with a gentle rain watering can. I believe the frogs prefer the old style galvanized watering cans.

Randy, the water and dark rocks really make the frog standout.  Nice light on the frog.
Thanks for posting.

The last thing the frog wants is to stand out as to stand out is to be eaten.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Dave - haven't really thought about 'watering frogs' with a watering can.

Cheers

Randy,

Thanks for posting. I like the photograph. I like the light. I like frogs. I don't eat them. :)

I was out one night water plants around a friend's pond when suddenly noticed I was pouring water directly on a frog. It didn't move I'm sure hoping not to be noticed.

Best,

Dave
