hello dear TN friends, one of our friends, Bayram (boreocypriensis)
on his series of dedications he dedicate me a bird photography :
http://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo170329.htm

at my turn i will dedicate him this American Bullfrog photo
that i have done today, this is not my kind of photography,
i love to do more birds and mammals photographys,
i have seen alot of times Bullfrogs posed on rocks
near the ponds where i go for photography,
but i have never thinked to shoot them in photo
because they where not on a natural habitat

when today this one i saw it on his natural habitat
(and not on a rock near the water) i decide to shoot
him in photo and when i did it a thinked to you
Bayram because with your photographys
you are the master of this kind of photos

thanks for your dedication to me of bird photo
and my turn i dedicate to you this Amphibian image

this photo was shot with my small Point & Shoot
Nikon compact camera at JPEG format ISO50,
and as i said this is a first time that i am doing
a close shot of an animal and it is my first frog shot

here is 2 links that i had found on the bullfrog :

Asbed,

We are 'almost' neighbors tonight!
That's a very good picture my friend! Even though it doesn't show your usual subjects, it is excellent. I love the POV, composition and detail. I'd say it is a very good picture to present as dedication to Bayram. He deserves every bit of it. Thanks for honoring his presence here at TN. Great job Asbed!

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Asbed,

A wonderful dedication to my beloved adopted brother Bayram. I'm sure he will appreciate it. Congratulations on your first frog shot. It's so nice seeing it in its natural habitat and he is posing so nicely between the reeds to give us a perfect view. Wonderful colors and sharp details. I love the eye!!!

Hello Asbed,
You have capture an excellent shot in natural habitat with great details and perfect lighting,the composition is also very nice ,
TFS.

Green on green...but two almost same colour yet the frog is not...almost as if it somehow knows it is hiding well...Sometimes I cannot even see them in front of my eyes..Frogs have a way about that until they hop:-) Very nice image Asbed. Your collection of natural beings is growing well!

Hello Asbed
You have certainly tried something different here and the results are brilliant.
This picture to me really shows your skills as a photographer when you can nail picture as good as this which arent your usual choice of subject.
All the best
Paul
I do hope you get your slr soon.

Superbe photo et très belle "dedication" à Bayram. J'aime le vert, beaucoup de vert pour cette grenouille. Elle est bien cadrée et son environnement est évident. J'imagine que tu les entends croasser aussi. Il doit bien y en avoir des milliers là où tu vas! Merci encore,

Francine

Hi Asbed... Your pictures full of light colours and something different the others...Lovely mosaic mixture.....Good shot and good choice to dedicated for Bayram...Well done...Leyla

Hello Asbed,
A great capture of the American Bullfrog taken in its natural habitat: I like the way your bird and animal shots include the natural habitat.
This one also shows the bullfrog sharply and from a good POV so thatwe can see all the features, including the enormous eardrum!
TFS this fine image,
Ivan
