Tree Frog Curtain Call

While reviewing some of my Olympus archives, I found this one from July 2010 in Jean Lafitte NP. About 80% of 4/3rds original, shot fully zoomed at minimum focus trying to focus on the eyes. I cropped, rotated and reframed using content aware settings.

A way cool catch, Bill. Love the sense of peeking around the leaf at you as well as the coordinated colors.

Wow, this is just Gorgeous! Excellent work re-composing this. I like how you left enough space around the frog to give us a feel for its small size.
No nits.

Bill: Immediately reminded me of the work of David Chauvin with tree frogs. I hope you take that as the high compliment intended. Terrific capture of the moment. devil
