all part of the fun in seeing these creatures up close. This is their habitat and this is where they live. People who work at the refuge, know where to look.and they know what to look for. Even though these are highly poisonous, repeated exposures have diminished symptoms that may offend or bother the Handlers. Remember, these are not captive creatures. You see what passes through on that particular day. No different than any wildlife refuge in the US.

Pertinent Technical Details
ISO 3200, F-14, 1600th, 105 mm macro, D 500, it was dark and I had to be pretty close up to get these images.
A sharply-detailed and very cute image with wonderful composition! I love the gesture, as though it is reaching out tentatively for something.
You have another strange color profile here, this time Display P3. I’m guessing you are exporting it from a Mac or an iPad with a wide-gamut screen? Browsers will do a better job of presenting colors if an image is converted to sRGB in the export process (and embedding the profile tag will help if the image is ever opened in a photo editor). The export dialog should offer to convert and embed with a simple choice checked.
This could hardly be more colorful. Very dynamic capture of the gesture of the frog’s leg. Great detail. I wonder if you could lighten the frog’s back just a little to give it more separation from the black background.
This is spectacular. Not much else to say. The frog is very photogenic and the plant just adds to the magical quality here. FWIW, I like the higher contrast of this image over the one entitled “repost” of the same frame. I think it makes it more magical, black light poster-ish, but in a good way.

This is a great capture, (wonderful colors, lots of detail), of a great subject as previously stated. When I look at the original image and the repost together, I find I like the original better and furthermore, I like the slightly less shiny plant on the right. Therefore, as an experiment, I took the liberty of darkening the plant a little more.
Thanks for all your help on this issue of sRGB and color space issues.
I’ve also discovered some images that apparently were not shot in the right color space.
Your suggestion about the warnings box really may have made a difference.
But I still have no idea how things are getting posted as other color spaces
I do know that some of the time I had my camera set at pro RGB and sometimes at sRGB. I am leaving it set right now from now on as.sRGB so hopefully we won’t see that problem except with older images shot on my Sony. Or perhaps even the Nikon.
The color space an image is shot in only matters for shooting in JPEG. There is no color space in a raw image – it is just whatever gamut the sensor could record. You can use different color spaces for PS, which is why the warnings. The key thing for posting is to convert to sRGB (NOT assign…convert) when you make a JPEG to post here.
Magnificent image. Very well balanced with light, color, and shadows. The eye is tack sharp and the catch light in the eye is what makes this image really stand out for me. I really like the pose you captured with the right forearm.
I do wonder if the light on the flower was toned down a little more, it may not wash out the frog as well.
Using flash on a nocturnal critter like this tree frog produced a fine image. Colors are good and wish that the flash was more diffused and that takes a lot of practice to get just right. Overall, a nice comp and the versions with slightly reduced contrast and brightness in the plant put it over the top. Well done…Jim
