Hi Folks,
Back from the Port Antonio, Jamaica region...lots of landscapes and lots of frogs so I thought I would start with a fract of a Johnstone's Whistling Frog, also known as a Lesser Antillean Whistling Frog. Every night I would spend an hour or two searching for these guys as they chorused and some were very predictable as they would sing from the same leaf night after night. I found this one on some yellowed leaves of a wild banana plant.
Using my Nikon D800 and a Nikon 80-400 VR lens with a Canon 500D close-up filter attached to the lens I was able to get close enough to this tiny crooner. A Nikon SB-400 on a flash bracket was also used in creating this photo.
As usual I used Fractalius on a duplicate layer to mask back in the original eye and additional tweaking to the fract in Viveza 2 and Color Efex 4 (detail extractor)
Look forward to comments.
