Frog Red Eyes - Agalychnis Callidryas

Hello to all.

This frog amphibious symbol of Costa Rica of you who has never seen t-shirts, magazines or leaflets with her beautiful eyes turned red?
On my trip to Costa Rica for a few months ago, I too have had the opportunity to photograph him in a forest of Selva Hereida.
In addition to the usual shots, portrays the fact that with his eyes particular I wanted to repeat them in a stage, before closing his eyes covered them with a sort of irregular network plots.

I hope this is appreciated even photos.

Greetings Simone Tossani

The color palate here is very nice and vibrant, normally I'd like to see the eyes open, but in this case the eye lids are very interesting. This is a very nice shot! :toast:

Very nice! Vibrant colors, and I like the sleepy eyed look - the eyes closed are what I think make this photo particularly unique.

Such colors. The little frog is so beautiful and different to see it without the red eyes. Very nice.

Glad to see a a new take on this often-photographed species. The colorful perch contributes to the uniqueness of this image.

Absolutely beautiful image - rich vibrant colours & lovely details. The patterns on the translucent membrane covering the eye look amazing.

Wow! - I love the sharpness of the detail on the body of the frog. The eyelids are great! How nice of this frog to choose such a colorful plant for the photograph - it really adds to the composition.

Heartfelt thanks to all. :toast:

Ronnie Gaubert ..... honored by your visit.

In these days I'm having some problems connecting with my adsl line.
Sometimes I find it difficult to enter Nature Network Photographers with long pauses grueling wait and then have a page with the text "can not display the page."
I apologize of the few comments and if they are unable to thank you immediately.

I am glad that my photos will be swimming.
