European Tree Frog-Hyla arborea
Enough of those Kingfishers... :rolleyes: ... :wink: :biggrin:
But..still going through some of the "old" files from last season wich i had not yet processed. This is a European Tree Frog wich is a rarity over here in The Netherlands and i am allways happy to find one as besides scarce they are darn hard to find!

Greetings,

That's just superb. Like everything about it. Nothing like that in my 'unprocessed' collection I'm afraid .. :toast:

I missed this earlier. It's an absolute cracker Jeroen. Was this taken in-situ or did you remove the plant to a more friendly background?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your coments.
To Robert: This was shot at the location so nothing was moved. Just got very lucky with this pose.
