I just got back from my first trip to Costa Rica, and boy, I cannot wait to return! One of the species I was really looking forward to photographing were these frogs. It certainly was a bit of a challenge being at night, and it was drizzling most of the time, but I was pretty happy with the results.

I love these guys. Nice image. One day I'll get to CR - seems to be the place to be!

Really nice work! I like the composition using the diagonal line. The pose of the frog not only gives you the feeling of action, but it shows all the colorful markings on this little frog well. I know how much of a challenge it is to photograph them "in the wild"!
