Daydreaming

I saw this little guy at an exotic frog exhibit at our local museum. He seems to be contemplating something, but it was difficult to determine where his gaze was due to the marking in his eyes.

Canon 60D, 100 mm macro lens
f/2.8, 1/180 sec
ISO 400, no flash, shot through glass

Love retile eyes and I see a few posted already. Good job with your primary focus on the eye Monica and good image for the theme this week.

Frog eyes are very interesting, Monica, and this is a fine look at this one with it's gold and brown. You've also got some interesting colors on the chin and throat as those blue toes at the back. This is a fine capture with decent dof especially for f2.8.

Hey Monica,
It is always tuff shooting through glass but you came away with an excellent image and perfect for this WC. The pose and colors in the frog are a pleasure and that eye has good detail.
Great title also, well done . . . :toast:
