Frog Humor

I found this little guy stuck between the branches along the river bank behind my house. After a few photos and a laugh I helped him along his way, what you do not see is a rock behind him. I assume he jumped off it and then got stuck....nature has its moments!!
C&C welcome

Canon 7D, EF70-200 2.8L IS II @ 120mm, 1/100sec, f/6.3, iso 100, AP, partial metering, handheld, cropped for composition added the wording of course.

David this is outstanding and perfect for the day after an overdone New Years Eve.
The picture itself is first rate, the detail, the lighting and the BG all perfect, Well Done.

Poor little guy.....tired of hearing about fiscal cliffs, so decided to jump

Glad he has landed safely...with your help.

What an interesting find, and fortuitous for the subject! At least he posed nicely for you. Thanks for helping him along!

Super capture, a bit of leaf, just right DOF. The vertical crop works well.
