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.

    Well, I certainly didn’t expect such a large and positive response as I have received for this image. I was also very surprised to learn it had been voted for as the winner of the group/showcase competition in the Australian Bush and Rainforest Photography group.
    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.

    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
