    Default AMERICAN BULLFROG (Lithobates catesbeianus)

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    The North American Bullfrog was originally found in all areas east of the Rocky Mountains except the very southern part of FL.. It has either intentionally or unintentionally been introduced to the rest of our country and parts of Mexico. Coloration can varry from brown to green. Females are larger than males and can weigh more than a pound. They live for about 7 years in the wild. The tympanum is larger than the eye in the male and equal to or smaller than the eye in the female. I only got one picture of this frog before she went under.
    Picture taken with a Nikon D1X camera with a 70 - 200MM F2.8 lens. Picture taken at 1/60 sec at F14.0 and ISO 200. Flash was used with a -2/3 compensation.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for the details, I am learning from your postings about different species. I like the composition and her peeking out from under the leaf. I like how you include just the right amount of the leaf as well and have the frog to the right in the frame. Good choice. Colors look good to me. The right eye seems sharper then the left. If so, a bit of selective sharpening on the left eye could even it out.

    Hi Pete,
    I like the comp and the colors in this image. I think it would benefit from a slight CW rotation.
