Green with envy
Nestled away beneath the lush leaves, rests a green tree frog waiting for the day to end, and feeding time to begin.

A great shot, Matt. Frogs are so alien looking – and this one looks like a friendly green alien :)
Nice lighting and sharpness.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, as I certainly appreciate the time taken to give some feedback and compliments. I can say that it has added to the personal motivation and inspiration to attempt to create more and better work in the future.

Jimson Carr
Amazing capture Matt! Everything about it is incredibly well done!! Wow!
Is this a tele-macro shot, or did the frog let you get that close?
Matt Duncan replied
Hi Jimson, thanks for the comments.
The frog was very forgiving for my intrusion. The photo was taken as a macro, with a focal length of 6mm. It really needed to be, as my amphibious friend only measured about 4 or 5cm long.
Matt Duncan
Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments. They are very appreciated.
Just in case anyone missed them…
