Blue-eyed bush frog or Yellow bush frog (Raorchestes luteolus) | Somwarpet, Kodagu, Karnataka
This is one of the more common bush frogs in Karnataka. Its far-reaching, distinctive call can be heard in most forests and agricultural plantations. Here is a link to the audio that I had posted long back- http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/sho...eyed-Bush-Frog.
I was shooting from a distance (vegetation prevented me from going close) and I had set the Av at 2.8 to avoid the clutter of the vegetation, not for super-shallow DoF. This is how it turned out. Ideally, for an image of this type, one would have to pay attention to the background elements and colours to ensure smoothness, and avoid other elements in the same focus plane as the frog. However, since this shot was not really planned, those nits remain.
