That's great!
I love these big black eyes! Great capture!
Rel, without your beautiful nature posts and macro's this forum wouldn't be the same. Another pearler. Love the catch light in this guy's eyes!

Great stuff Rel. Out of interest - Did you bounce the flash off something above the frog or just use an off camera flash?
This guy blends into the Background nicely, with those huge eyes just setting the shot off. Steve (Nikon D200/D700)

Thank you everyone
 , you really know how to make my day huh? Geoff - you sure know how to embarrass a girl
Willy wombat - I used the Nikon 105 ( as usual) with the SB800 set to GN at 2metres, with the PJLightsphere and diffusion dome - the flash head was set pointing at the frog (not up)...... then my usual settings of f22, iso 200 @ 1/320 and exposure bias of -0.33 Hugs Rel Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams
