Hi all,

Here's a shot I took the other night in Brisbane of a Graceful Tree Frog (Litoria gracilenta).

How do your guys get to capture these froggies so well. I have been trying for days and #2 daughter is starting to give me grief.

Another beautiful shot
Steve

Nice shot Mike. He has a very inquisitive look - "What's that weird looking thing you're pointing at me?"
Maybe just my monitor but he seems a tad underdone as far as saturation is concerned - not a criticism at all but I guess after seeing other shots of this species I expect to see a deeper green. Might be regional differences in the population as well....

great composition on this michael.

would have been magic with some more DOF though.

Still a nice shot though.

Thanks for feedback, guys.

Simon - this guys is actually quite a pale version of a Graceful Tree Frog but maybe it could do with a bit of saturation. I'll give it a go and thanks for suggestion.

Steve - if I used a shallower DOF then background would have been too distracting. I purposely wanted to have blurry background and my aim was to have eyes in focus (most important part).

Cheers
