Bull Frog

I don't have any leopards to add to the collection, so here's a bull frog I saw yesterday. His legs would have mad a nice meal. :D

I couldn't get lower since he's in a pond in a green house at a sewage treatment plant.

10D, 100-400mm + 1.4TC, ISO 400 -1, 550EX -1 2/3, Gitzo, BH1

Well, he sure looks happy! They have really neat eyes. Nice shot, Jim.

And he always have some mighty fine wine... :) And this is a might fine photo of a striking BF. The eye is terrific, and manages to be the only thing truly in focus. The only thing I wish would go away is that twig over his neck (do frogs have necks?) but that's minor and in some ways almost a plus.

I love it. In a perfect world that stick would be gone.

My two year old saw this and yelled, "It's a frog. Like Kermit". She's a big Muppets' fan :D . Thanks for making my daughter's day.

Very nice Jim. The stick doesn't really bother me much. Possibly could use just a small touch more USM but this stands well as is.
