"appologize all of you for lack of answers for your nice critiques and no comments to your pictures"

It is okay with me...I always appreciate your images..as I do this one...it has a flavor which you do present in your own unique way. You have much, even as a young man, to offer. You have been to places where many will only dream of going and in some cases, countries which have had terrible wars and strife...You have intelligence to take important images and learn as well as teach. You are a good contributor to "true and serious nature" in your very own special way...and thanks much for sharing this picture!

Hi Radomir

Great close-up - excellent eye contact and low POV. The habitat in the BG also makes the shot interesting.

Hi Radek

Nice to see you again, my friend! I hope all is well with you.
A very nice picture from your trip to Bulgaria. This Rana graeca is a species i haven't seen yet in real life, but i do hope to...maybe even this year.
The details of your shot are excellent and the colors very natural and beautiful. Also, i love the low-angled POV here as well as the discreet effect of teh fill-in flash.
Great work and nice dedication to yet another herpetologist here on TN :)

Cheers and TFS

Hello Radomir,
Excellent close capture of this Stream Frog in interesting pale colours and a bit spotty like a toad! I like its pose and the low POV. Great focus on the eye and details are very sharp. Well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Bonito acercamiento Radomir. Buenos colores y texturas, que se aprecian perfectamente a pesar de la ténue iluminación. El ojo te quedó fantástico.
En nuestras montañas ( Pirineos ) se están empezando a perder algunas especies de este tipo y de anfibios debido a las prolongadas sequías que estamos teniendo últimamente.
Un saludo: J. Ignasi

Hi Radomir,
excellent detail and low POV, this shot has loads of character - i like the way you have caught the light in his skin that gives it this great shiny/slimy feel!
Well done my friend, another informative post from you, thanks!

Hi Radomir,
Thank you for this perfect rendering of a Rana graeca specimen, the flash-assisted illumination revealed its pattern and coloration characteristics quite nicely and your reflection in that huge eye is an excellent by-product of this capture. A slight typo-error on its popular name ("Steam" Frog) is easily correctable, I presume. TFS indeed.

Hi Radomir.
Simply great pose of the animal, POV of the photographer and composition of the shot. Excellent DOF and sharpness of the image. I like natural colours and so suitable for the frog surroundings and its coloration. Bravo and best wishes.
Alexei.
P.S. I have some free time and I may prepare shots for your site if you want them else. I remember your request.

Hello Radomir,
This is great macro of Rana graeca.
its temporal band show that it is a mountain frog with beautiful colors. Details, sharpness, POV, composition great. Also you give a nice information about Bulgarian amphibian fauna.
This is a nice gift for Bayram who is a protozologist, but he is also good specialist on herpetology.
thanks for sharing, best wishes

Hello Radomir,
This is an excellent capture of the Stream Frog in a good pose and taken from a fine POV. The lighting and composition are superb.
If this species is a lover of cold water it ought to thrive in Sweden!
Thanks for sharing this one.

Hallo Radomir
What a big and slimy fellow you have photographed here. I cannot say that this one is a pretty one, but is surely has some attraction and magnetism towards it. It has remarkable patterns and marks on its body. The big peeled out eye has a lovely colour to it, with shades of gold green and black. It has big paws and his back legs looks very strong. I am sure when it jumps; it will be a huge jump. Great shot. Good close-up. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend.
Kind regards
Anna
