Got this image this morning at Jean Lafitte NP. These little guys are often lying in a static pose, but I found this one with a bit better pose. Full frame, larger image included.

E-5 ZD50-200 +EC-14 516mm (35 equiv.) Manfrotto 3265 on GT2531, ISO 100 1/13 f8 0.0EV, focus distance about 6 feet.

Bill,
This is a very nice close-up of a green tree frog. The detail captured on the frog and its perch is excellent. I like the diagonal composition too...............Jim

Excellent, Bill.The good view of the sawgrass provides a good size reference, and you did a nice job separating the grass and frog from the bg.

Love little green frogs....and this one is very cute :jump: good job on his white trim. It would have been easy to have blown out his left back leg.
