Hi Jacob

What a weird creature. Great POV and DOF - I really like the eye position. The toad is well isolated from the BG. The seed head adds a little reality.

Hallo Jacob,
Ik vroeg me af om hoeveel dieren het dan gaat; het aantal... en waar die plaatsen in Nederland zich bevinden?
Morgen ben ik in Emmen en zondag in Apeldoorn om respectievelijk in de zoo en in Apenheul te fotograferen. Ik vroeg me af of je in die omgeving ook dieren in het 'wild' kunt fotograferen zoals bijvoorbeeld uw Yellow bellied toad...
Mooie foto en goed gedaan.
Bedankt
Annick

Hello Jacob,
Fine capture of this rare toad with excellent shapness and BG set in a good comp.
In Sweden we have the Fire-bellied (B. bombina) very rare in the very south. It became extinct over 40 years ago but has been re-introduced and surviving well after conservation measures. We shall try to get some shots of it soon.
TFS and have a nice weekend, Ivan

Hello Jacob,
Nice shot showing this interesting species. I like it a lot. I see very often the yellow bellied toads while hiking in the Carpathians or Balkans so they always bring nice memories.

So you go to Poland!!?? Where to exactly? Any photographic trip???

Best greetings,
Michal

Hi Jacob

A wonderful shot from you of tihs cute Bombina variegata!
he textues from its skin are very well visible as well as the big yellow patches from its underbelly.
Great focus in the eye region and very good DOF choice.
Spot-on exposure, terrific details and very beautiful composition.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Jacob!
Nice and "low" close-up with interesting profile POV. I like DOF and natural BG.
I also believe that you will find a Bombina bombina during your trip to Poland (really near Cracow there is hibridization zone where you can observed B.variegata x B. bombina!)
Best greetings,
Radomir
