Poison Dart Fract

[Andrew McLachlan]

Yesterday I visited a breeder of tropical frog species, in particular several varieties of poison dart frogs. This one is probably my favorite of the day. This belongs to the Ranitomeya family and interestingly enough these frogs develop different color pattern depending on the elevation they are found at within the rain forests of Peru. They are rather tricky to photograph due to there very active nature and tiny size. This one was probably half an inch, if that.

As usual I applied my frog fract preset which is based around the 'Glow 100' settings.

Look forward to comments.

Way cool Andrew, wild pattern and colors on this little guy....only thing I might have done is copy and paste the original lips or remove the white line around mouth (for some reason I thought of that, maybe cause I'm stuck at work)), very bold colors as background, well done

The colors are vibrant and the subject is interesting! I love the effect you applied.

What a cute little guy! I love the colors and fract work. I can imagine photographing one that small would not be easy, so kudos to you!

Andrew, the colors are great! and I love the fract work as always It's hard to believe they are so small.

Love this Andrew! The colors are amazing and really cool fracting. Good one!

I have seen poison dart frogs in the wild and thought I could chase them around to get a photo. Haha...they indeed are super tiny and fast, plus they live in the dark shadows of a leaf-littered ground. This really shows their amazing colors. Great fracting, too.
