This young Gray Treefrog is about 1 inch in length. They often sit motionless on a leaf where they blend in very well. These frogs can also change to a gray color (thus, their name) depending upon their surroundings. 40D, Canon 180mm macro, 1/20, f/16, ISO 400, tripod, cable release, natural light. Comments are welcome.
Hi Steve, Nice comp,lighting and sharpness. If this were mine I would either crop or clone out the shadow area in the upper right. If possible, I would shoot the subject at a lower angle.
Steve, nice image of an amphibian I'm still struggling to find and photograph. People tell me that once you find one or two you learn what to look for.
Anyway I agree with Dave about liking a lower angle but I would leave the dark are inteh frame beacuase I beleive that it's leaf's edge.
Hey Steve,
Very nice with the natural light but will agree with Dave on the lower angle.I do like the diagonal presentation and am still amazed at the 1/20 SS....must have been very still as it looks very sharp!
Yes, a lower angle would definitely give you a better sense of eye contact but I wonder about a slight boost in contrast as the image feels a tiny bit flat to me.
