[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This pair was founded in a isolated canyon of Baja California Sur, Mexico. I am doing my doctoral studies with this interesting amphibian. It is found only on isolated ponds(oasis)across Baja desert.

This specie is well adapted to complicated environmental conditions and are active principally on could months.

Interesting, the color difference of these two frogs.
Quite a sex difference.
Great moment caught. wonderful POV/
Excellent focus and light and exposure.
TFS. : )

Hola Victor,

I like frogs, especially in hump mode. Great image, I can feel a lot of emotion in this capture, and I betcha they can too. Could you imagine if there were monsters bigger than us, and they were into photography, they would just rip the roof right off the top of the house and start taking pictures in continuous mode of the people in their bed. Great shot! :)

Holá Victor,
Excellent capture of this pair of mating Tree-frogs.
This is sharp and well presented and the difference in colors between the two sexes is striking.
TFS,
Regards, Ivan

Hello Victor!
If I did know that this specimens were photographed in Mexico, I would say that there are two different species! :) The green male looks very similar to European tree trogs (Hyla sp.) but the famale is like some of European frogs (Rana sp.). Very nice presentation!
On the other hand a little better DOF would be nice. Also I would suggest to add latin name of this species (especially that because of so "big" sexual dimorphism in colouration of body).
Greetings,
Radomir
