I have been on the look for one of these for a while . Isnt it funny how things work out . I was out looking at some water to shoot , and was leaving . I acually had my camera put away then i looked over at a tree and say this little guy.
My daughter really really likes frogs ( dont ask me why ) so i am sure she will be begging to get these for her wall LOL ...
Any C/C is welcome ..

Hey Shawn!
Cool captures indeed!
I dont think we have tree frogs in sweden. Is these fellas common around where you live ?
Looks sharp, good subject isolation. Love the green foliage really add to the picture.
Im sure your daughter will be over the moon.

Thanks for the kind words Paul ,
yes they are common around this area , the problem is they are so well hidden that they are hard to find ( well for me LOL ) . I wouldnt think yall would have them there , but i maybe wrong ..

Pity there wasn't more contrast between froggy and background. Although there's not much you could do about it, short of taking froggy home and setting up in studio.... and meh, effort. Good shots nevertheless!

These are lovely pictures Shawn...
One day at my Sister's home we heard a very noisy cry of a frog... They told me it was a green frog. I thought it was a huge animal... When I saw it... Oh my God! It was just that little!! They asked me to take pictures, I'll try to post one. They are not so good as yours, since my pictures doesn't have that beautiful foliage yours have...
