Green sedgefrog

Hi all,

I came across this little sedgefrog at the Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens this morning. Taken with my 50D and 35mm f/2 lens. The short minimum focussing distance of this lens makes it useful for this sort of subject (although a macro would have been better...). Anyway, hope you like it!

Cheers,
Stephen

Nice shot Steve. Litoria fallax, eastern sedgefrog, eastern dwarf tree frog etc

Thanks Warren and Paul.

Here's another shot of the frog peering out of the fern frond. Unfortunately I missed the focus slightly on this one.

Cheers,
Stephen

well done. I guess when you dont have a lens that will get in close enought you have to consider composition more hey.
