Hidden In A Tulip

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted April 20, 20183,275 views2 comments

Last week at our Botanical Gardens I noticed something green in a tulip, and looked closer to discover it was this tiny little green frog! I was thrilled. I used my Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 100 mm L lens with my K-800 twin flash and homemade diffuser, handheld. Settings were f8, 1/180, ISO 250. Cropped to 95% of full frame. Edited in Lightroom and NIK. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

What a great find, Shirley. Took me a bit to see the frog, since I started looking in the main cup first. The little frog (I'm guessing a spring peeper) is stands out nicely in the larger view. The heavy dusting of pollen is good, also.
