The poppy eyed beauty

ID: Hind limb developed Tadpole(Indirana sp?)

This particular area of the trail had huge numbers of tadpoles, almost covering the entirety of the spot. Though most of them were very tiny and could hardly been spotted from a distance this particular one was much bigger and comparatively lesser active, giving us the opportunity to get a closer frame of the beauty, Though whenever it moved it would take a longer stride almost disappearing into the moist ground.

EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro + Raynox DCR 250
F/10
Shutterspeed 1/125
ISO 800
Handheld, External flash fired
Some PP to removed harsh highlights due to external flash

Location: Amboli

Good details. The low angle enhances the composition. You got any wider frame with the full body? Thanks for sharing.

Couldnt get the full body as getting the focus right was very difficult, and as mentioned this one almost disappeared off the moist ground, so couldnt manage and other frames

I agree that focusing would be a big challenge in this case while getting a lower angle. Slight turn and the nose portion would have been in focus, but the other parts would have been out of focus. Interesting colour patterns in the body. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
