Sorry for the cliche! Found this little guy under a stack of wood we were moving at my grandparents. We put him in a tree nearby and he crawled up to hug the edge of the leaf...

I burned the edges of the photo slightly to put more emphasis on the subject and lightened the underside of his head.

I hope I get a chance to do some photography out in the Gorge before all that lushness you guys are posting lately fades away...

Oh, yeah, this is about a 33% crop of the original. I need a macro lens...

Mike, great shot. I the simplicity of the color in this - the green leaf, and green background. The DOF is perfect.

Thanks, Tim, Jeremy. I was trying to get as much light as possible, so had to use F4...It happened to work out well!

Ok, I'm jealous. I really need to figure out where to find some frogs.

You've done a nice job showing this guy in his element. He looks drowsy.
