A chorusing Gray Treefrog with a small Caddisfly resting on its head.
Cloned out numerous flash generated highlights.
The only reason I can think of for using ISO 400 was that I forgot to set it back to 100...I always use ISO 100 for my night-time frog photography as I am using flash.

Whoa this is special! Great exposure and colours the potential prey of course really enhances the image. My only criticism - and this is almost universal in frog shots, the DOF is just a tad short. If the feet were sharp I would be running out of compliments!
Stunning image Andrew! At first glance I thought this was a frog with a proboscis! Then I put my glasses on and saw what was going on Love the colours, and I do not really mind the OOF bits. Great capture!
Very nice colors, good sharpness and very nice detailas within dof. The fly makes this special. Very good job on exposure and flash. I like this a lot!
Very special situation (that fly is a true daredevil!) and very nice details on the frog. I agree with the comments on the DOF. I'd consider toning down the bright piece of wood in the BG.
Hi Andrew. This is a very nice photo of a singing tree frog - but the caddisfly takes it up another couple notches and makes it unique! Nice job, as usual, removing the flash-generated spectral highlights. I would agree with Jerry about toning down the stem in the URC - a minor tweak. Very well done!
