Nice capture, Ester. I like the way the frog is hiding under the leaves. . .he does blend in well. Good DOF choice, making the eye and nose sharp and the rest more blurred. Nice comp too. :smile:

Nice inter-play of color. The leaves relate to the eye and the background to the skin. Some amphibians are masters of camouflage. Toads and treefrogs in particular.

Very nice close-up of this frog, Ester! The focus is perfect on the eye and the colors are great. Well done.
