this is probably my best frog pic of the year so far.... [View all]

...i did a quick post process job on it....i need to redo it and take my time and lessen or eliminate the excessive glistening on his nose and elsewhere on his face. if i can do that, this one is a keeper and hopefully i find many more opportunities like this one. i was out last night with only a flashlight and saw this gladiator frog sitting up in the emerging, curled leaf of a calathea near the lagoon...i ran back in for the camera expecting him to be gone when i got back out, but surprisingly he was in the same exact position. sometimes you get lucky.
