Osteocephalus Tree Frog
An Osteocephalus species of Tree Frog as it emerges from it's breeding pond to begin life in the canopy of the Amazon Rainforest near Tarapoto, Peru. This is a fairly common species that will be encountered during my 2019 photo tour in Peru. Check out the Workshop forum for details.

Very cool to see this with the tail still present! Good sharpness and lighting. Did you have to remove a lot of flash-generated specular highlights? (Looks great as presented.)

Very nice. The flash is well balanced and the detail is great. The only thing i would suggest is a little more room behind.

Wicked with a wicked eye. Will it lose the tail?

Thanks Arthur! Yes it will absorb the tail for additional nutrients as it completes the metamorphosis. This was about one inch in length. It will grow to a 2-3 inch adult.

Thanks for the kind words Jonathan. I think the colour balance in your repost may have gone a bit too far off of the natural tones of the tadpole. I will revisit the RAW file and double check that compared to my optimized file.
