The detail here is fantastic. Colors are similar, but DoF perfect so as to not detract from the subject.

Good macro of this tiny guy, Joggie! Great detail and colour, I bet he's well camoflaged in those reeds.

Thanks Avi - The white curve is the inside of the Arum lily petal. The frog squeezes itself into the inside of the funnel-shaped flower and wait for insects looking for nextar/pollen.

Stating the obvious lol... Love the frogs disguise... Looks like the lily... certainly would make the *hunting* easier... :)

Brilliant... Excellent macro Joggie... Would love to be a fly on the wall when you are working... ~~GRIN~~ but, not as the subject...

Onie...

Interressant.

I like the composition, with the frog "chilling" on the leave of the lilly. Almost like a lazy old watchdog.
Goed gedoen Oom!

Groete,
Stef

The monocomatic composition is splendid Joggie. The two diagonally opposite circular angle are great. The frog seems a symbiotic element of the lily. Excellent capture Joggie.
Take care.

Very beautiful capture. You have an awesome book, it's better than a National Geographics magazine.

Thanks for the comments to my captures.

Very interesting info, Joggie! You live in an area full of treasures. It must be a treat for all the senses everytime you go out in nature.
Great camouflage that this frog uses.
Best wishes
