Collette's Tree Frog ready to leap

I love this pose, which I've seen on many species of tropical arboreal frogs. Sometimes they will hold the pose indefinitely, but often they will leap away if you approach too closely.

  Thanks Ferdy! I used a big light-diffusing soft box (LumiQuest SoftBox III) on my flash, and a 50mm macro lens so the soft box is close to the subject. Posted 8 years ago
