Those sleepy eyes

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Malabar Gliding frog (Male)

Got the best encounter of my life, a close shot with the gliding beauty along the Amboli trail. Luckily this one, unlike others, seemed sleepy and hardly bothered with our presence, especially in close proximity. Tried out several frames and this one was the one I loved the most.

EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro
F/7.1
Shutterspeed 1/100
ISO 800(For getting clearer and brighter background)
Handheld, Inbuilt flash fired

Location: Amboli, Maharashtra

Brings a smile to the viewer's face. :)

The Dof problem comes in during shots like this. With frogs, one trick is to go parallel to the side of the snout. In this case, doing that would have got the snout, eye and toes in one plane.

Wow that is close. Lovely details and colours in the eye. Agree with Abhishek about the DoF. Thanks for sharing.
