Red-eyed Tree Frog

taken in Costa Rica about a week ago.

7D, 180mm, 1/250, f/5.6, ISO 1000, manual, spot meting, HH - darkened the BG a bit

Comments and feedback welcome

I love this! I'm surprised at the DOF for that aperture. Was the lighting natural or flash? It's very pleasing, along with the spectacular colors.

Thanks Diane. No flash - all natural light

This is beautiful Enrigue... love the colours and clarity..

Beautiful macro shot! Colours are super and the natural light makes the image a lot more pleasing

Great composition and on this one I do like the dark BG

I love the bright colors of this frog against the dark branch and background. The diagonal composition is strong and looks natural. Super image. How did you get the dark bg?

I took this image against a dark BG. Using a luminosity layer (dark-dark), I darkened the dark BG even more. That is all.

These black backgrounds - love them or hate them, in this case I think it works spectacularly well, the colours in the frog are stunning - well done on the processing this is an excellent image.

Striking colors, great pose, lovely composition. Truly eye-popping stuff. I love it!

Great image - will just echo positive comments stated above. nicely done with stunning colors and love the pose.
