Andrew, I love the jade green colors. I've never heard of Waxy Monkey Treefrogs. Your froggy fracts are always marvelous.:S3:

Andrew, this is awesome! I had to lookup Wikipedia for the Waxy Monkey... it is fascinating to find these leaf frogs walk on the tree rather than hop hence the name monkey. I love the posture and head turn. Wonderful color and fract effect. Agree with Cheryl, your frog fracts are fantastic!

The colors, composition, and pose are great. I wonder how it would look with the Fractalius treatment masked off the eyes . . .

As said above, another smashing frog fract! I love the expression on it's face.

Andrew, I like the amount of Fract and the color is wild!

I've missed your fracted frogs. This is fabulous, as they all are! BTW, do you photograph these through glass? With what lens?

Thanks folks for the kind words, much appreciated.

Dennis - the Fractalius treatment was erased from the eyes...I guess they are naturally fracted:S3:

Nancy - this one was photographed through the glass, using a rubber lens hood so I didn't add any more scratches to the glass. I also used my Nikon SB400 flash on a Wimberley F-2 Macro bracket with the flash under the lens and pointing up under the frog. I used my D200 (now replaced with a D800) and the Nikon 105 micro lens. As I work my way through the Frog eBook I am writing, I will be including a section on photographing captive frogs.

I think the frac works very well here. The composition is excellent, as is the position of the frog. Wonderful eyes! Great image and work.

Yes, the eyes really grabbed me! Wonderful frac work as always, Andrew. Thanks for the info on the technique.
