Hi there, my name is Ramón Casares, I am from Argentina and I have just registered myself today, so this is my first post, it is a Monkey frog, it cientific name is Phyllomedusa azurae I think, it was taken under a controled situation, using a softbox (the kind used for product shots) and a bounced flash, after the sesion the subject was released unharmed. Hope you all like it!:)
I forgot to say what equipment I used: Canon Eos Xt - Canon 100mm 2.8 macro - Canon flashes (580 to fire the slave & 430 bounced) - softbox - handhold.
Wecome to the forum Ramon! Love this frog and facial expression!! I find though that the crop is a little tight especiall at top and left side. Your lighting is very effective. Well done!
Fantastic pose you have captured here Ramon. did you ask it to pose like this? I love the crossed arms/hands. My only small nit is that it is a bit tight in the frame. Well done.
Thanks everybody, all your comments and sugestions are well received, the only thing I didn't say is that it is a full frame, it has no crop. Thank you all!!
This is a very nice image. Tack sharp and nice DOF.
Would consider to compose another way to avoid horizontal leaf which takes my eyes from the subject.
Welcome here! You will enjoy it for sure :)
Hi Ramón and big welcome here. Terrific first post, maybe a little bit tight in the frame in my opinion but this is a minor detail. Ramón I would love to see some of your great photographs in the recently created forum for Spain/Latinoamérica here in BPN.;)
