This handsome frog is not very cooperative when she has a macro lens looking at her! but for this one it allowed me to get a couple of shots before it turned around showing me its back!

Mark IV
150mm Sigma
Hand held
Natural light
Almost FF.
I placed the frog on that mossy log
as that´s where you find them. 

Many thanks for looking.  :D

Fine image of this photogenic frog - I remember this species as being a lot less cooperative that the red-eyed tree frog.
