Nice to see you back and with a splendid capture of the Common Frog in a lovely pose! I like the sharp focus on its eye details are clear and light and colours beautiful. It looks really good against the green moss. Well done!

Hello Radomir,
Yes it is a worrying thought that even the most common amphibians are threatened by our effects on the environment and until we improve on our behaviour we can only hope that some have been able to adapt to the negative changes caused by the destructive species misnamed Homo sapiens!
This is a fantastic portrait of Rana temporaria, an unusually grey form. Technically this is excellent with skillful use of flash. The Composition on the contrasting moss, pose and POV are all superb.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Best wishes from Åhus,
Ivan

Czesc Radek!

Powszechna czy nie, moim zdaniem jest bardzo ladna. Swietnie komponuje sie z mokrym mchem. W ogole rewelacyjne zdjecie moim zdaniem - kwintesencja mchowosci i plazowosci :-)

Wpadnij do mojej galerii - udalo mi sie sfocic kilka trzyszczy :-)

Hello Radomir,
Sometimes I teach common or (vulgaris in Latin) to my students. many times the word cause similar confusion. e.g. Common squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), relatively rare in Turkiye and it range European part and restricted area. But S. anomalus ranges almost all Anatolia (Asiatic Turkiye). In that case, later must be called common:)) another thing, IUCN list sometimes including wrong information. e.g. Apodemus hermonensis (=A. iconicus) is the most common mammal species in our country and Levanten area. But IUCN listed it as EN. Several times, I was a member of IUCN redlist workshop and I told in there. Similar things were corrected. Thirdly, I agree our friend Ivan that Homo sapiens [sapiere is thinking creature, as you know] disturb many things, even if theirselves.
Well, congratulations indeed for this perfect macro. Focus, POV/OOF, eyes contact, coloration and composition with bryophyts wonderful. Thanks for sharing and good notes. best wishes my friend

Hi Radek

Nice to see you again here and nice to hear you've had a great time in the Baltic states. I'm very much looking forward to see what you've explored there :)

This is a terrific shot of this R. temporaria! I really like your low POV and the excellent flash work that illuminates the underside area so well.
The surroundings with all the moss are lovely, too, and complement the tones of the subject very well.
Excellent details and DOF, good compo and presentation.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: i've taken some more Odonata shots recently. I've upload some on my website here and if you need any for the POS gallery, you can just contact me.

Buena luz y profundidad, con gran realismo en los colores. Bienm captado el ojo y esas difíciles texturas húmedas de su cuerpo.
Estas cámaras compactas trabajan de maravilla. Yo tengo la canon 450D y antes tuve la Canon G3 ... no se con cual quedarme !

Hi Radomir,
This image is superb, I like a lot the environment it is on, perfect definition on frog and vegetation below, BG is intriguing and nice in same time, illumination excellent.
One of the best picture on frogs I´ve seen for identificaion, maybe not so colourful as tropical ones but for me a very well managed photo
Cheers
