[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After taking several shots of this Reticulated glass frog, Hyalinobatrachium valeroi, I choose to shoot with backlight, and the efect as perfect, exactly what I wanted, to see inside...
This is a non poisenous frog, with about 2,5 cm.
I used a wireless macro flash SB R-200.

Impresionante ejemplo de mimetismo Luis retratado con gran sentido estética y excelente técnica.
Me encanta el efecto lumínica captado con agudeza e intensos colores que permite disfrutar "por fuera y por dentro" de esta especie tan particular.
Una presentación muy instructiva y de real calidad... gracias por compartirla.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo
