Folks..

Found this frog in a small puddle of water..after the rains..its about a inch and half in length. I got on the ground with the extn tubes..and the frog was croaking which was sending the waves in the water. Lit up with a led torch by a friend..

Guess its in the right forum..

7D, 70 200 F4L, 400 ISO @5.6, 1/8.

Many thanks NPN for your support

Great job with the lighting on the frog, Balan. Terrific.

The spot lighting on this frog really set it off well. I wish he wasn't dead center in the frame but given all the black around him, I'm not sure where I try to move him to....maybe a crop off the bottom and left...

Your tiny frog pops on this black Balan.
Great work using the extension tubes, they're difficult to work with to be sure..
Centered works here with the circular 'pool' of dim light behind, and the reflection's a plus.
Creative lighting with the led, the teamwork paid off well

Balan, I like the low angle, reflection and the lighting. The frog stands out nicely from the dark background. This should be a challenging shot. I might like a little CCW rotation, but I am not sure. Nice as posted too.
