:(((((((((((
It is such a shame to all mankind that we made this magnificent species extinct. Indeed a pity.
About the picture - it is very well done, with great colors and POV...at least we have such nice memories of this beautiful toad.
TFS!

Nice capture, is this frog posionous because of the colours? Very good shot.

Good photo of a beautiful amphibian Luis.
I guess this can be quite camouflaged in its natural habitat.
I presume this one was bred in captivity.
Often it is the only way some of these rare species survive now.

Hello Luis,
Nice shot! I like the dark mood, vivid colours of the frog and framing here.
WELL DONE!

Hi Luis, amazing frog, I love it!!

Wow, how lucky of you to have captured this very endangered frog.
The colors are stunning, and the POV is great.
TFS, Luis. : )

Hi Luis,
A bit rushed tonight, just time for a quick visit.
Well worth a big :)

Thanks for posting, enjoy the rest of the week.

Luis,

Great Lighting, BG, Composition, POV and choice of subject. He is very colourful and must be very rare according to your note! TFS,

I as a frog and toad enthusiast really appreciate this one, the golden Panama frog is a sad story and efforts to save this frog seem grim, there are organizations trying desperately to save them at this very momment. There are also a few established colonies in collections in case they are extirpated from the wild. Hopefully Panama in joined efforts with other countries that are facing the same issue, can reverse the negative impact that these beautiful amphibians are facing. To this day in Panama 8 families of amphibians have died from the infectious disease called chytridiomycosis. Your photo is both beautiful yet sad. TFS. :(
