Sometimes, I have some crazy ideas to get new images that tell us something different.
[font=din-next-w01-light, din-next-w02-light, din-next-w10-light, sans-serif]This is the case of this image, I saw several male amphibians singing, but I also noticed that they do not move at all during their chorus, this is the case of this species, Epidalea (Bufo) calamita, in this case a male of this species was my model. He swells the gular sac at the same time that it deflates the belly, and after that it deflates the gular sac and inflates the belly making its sound of love, repeating this movement incessantly... .[/font]
[font=din-next-w01-light, din-next-w02-light, din-next-w10-light, sans-serif]I placed my camera at ground level and for 30 seconds I kept the camera open (f4.5) to capture these movements, with the light of night, however I also captured the static position of a part of the body while he sang his love.[/font]

[font=din-next-w01-light, din-next-w02-light, din-next-w10-light, sans-serif]As always all comments are welcome![/font]

You captured the song of love very well. This is a very clever and very creative image.
