A common inhabitants of the Costa Rican jungle, this tiny frog has a lot of class. This was taken at amphibian refuge where the species were collected the morning of our visit and released into the wild after we had finished photographing them.

David: you’ve captured the exotic coloration of this little guy very well. My only minor suggestion would be to clone out some of the specular highlights caused by the flash. Excellent otherwise. Richard
Excellent color and detail David. I like this as posted- the moisture on the frog’s skin is most always going to be problematic with flash under the conditions we were shooting, and the highlights are not a concern for me. Nice work.
I’m really enjoying your shots from Costa Rica. What a great subject! As you know, I’m a beginner when it comes to flash so I can’t really comment on the techs. All I know is that I like this photo. I like the black background that really sets off his beautiful colors.
