Hi to all. I've been seeing some nice shots from Costa Rica and thought I'd share a pic I took a few months ago down here. This is the well-known, though not that commonly seen, red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas).

Tech: Canon 10D, Canon 100 mm macro, MT-24 EX flash, handheld, f25 for 1/160, ISO 100

Cheers,
Greg

Greg,
great shot. I was there twice last year, but we did not see these in the wild.

Cool shot. I like the leaf pattern surrounding the frog. Well done.

Really nice shot Greg. The wrap around leaves add an interesting dimension. Great work.
