Tree Frog on Sawgrass

This is an image from Jean Lafitte NP in 2012, and I may have posted it before. Early morning at the end of the visitors center trail. Since this is shot with an extender, my choices were limited to get a lower position for this, but I thought that the DOF worked well for this. Cropped 4x5 to about 80% of original 4/3rds format. Larger image included.

E-5 ZD50-200 +EC-14 @283 Manfrotto 3265 on GT2531, ISO 100 1/30 f5.6 +1/3EV

Almost an abstract study in greens and yellows, Bill, as well as being an excellent capture of the frog. A very satisfying composition too !!

Great look at the tree frog, Bill. The wide variety of greens, the angled perch, plus the water drops combine to make this a special image.
