Default He thought he could hide....

This photo shoot started at my front door, a simple little tree frog. When he realized I was taking his picture he jumped to a near by palm to hide, but I was able to follow him into the bushes and get these shots.

What a Treat! Beautiful Tree frog; I love the Gold in the eyes on the last one. Very Clear and Crisp focus.
Thanks for Sharing these

Love that green on green. Beautiful lighting and the thing looks rather relaxed. Great captures there

great shots love the first one.

me and my mom found a frog last night was going to get pics f it but everytime we picked it up it would play dead lol. its back legs went limp front legs went stiff she would lay it on its back in her hand and it would not move but anytime we put it down it would hop like crazy couldnt get a good shot of it.

I like the shadows in the first image. It draws my eye more to the frog. I agree that you captured the eye of the frog perfectly in the 3rd image. Nice job!
