We love to shoot macro in August and September in Florida.  Pretty much the only game in town this time of year.
This was taken at one of the local gardens in Orlando.  Always a great place to get a few shots.
We were getting ready to leave and I saw this guy on his perfect perch. Was able to move around and get a clean BG which I think really sets this off.

Canon 5D Mark III
400mm lens @400mm (did not have macro lens with me)
f/9 1/640sec
no flash
hand held

A wonderful telephoto macro. The green of the frog and the reds/pinks? (I'm a little colored blind) accent each other off as complimentary colors.

Hi

A stunning shot that certainly works well - that lower flower area looks like a little decorative ribbon


All the best
Matthew

Nicely done, a close focusing tele is normally my choice for larger subjects and it works well here.
