Something Green

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted June 27, 201470 views5 comments
Gray tree frogs can change their skin color from a mottled gray brown to a light blue green. This particular frog was found near where I photographed the wood lily. Pentax K5 IIs, 300mm f4 DA* plus 32mm extension (1/250sec at f7.1, ISO 500). Levels,plus Topaz Detail were used for initial processing. I cropped a small amount from the bottom and top for composition. ...............Jim

Great catch on this gray tree frog, Jim. I love to hear them calling in the summer but have found them very hard to find. The textures in it's skin show very well and the fern leave adds lots of interest.
