KISS ME, I’m … ?
… sorry, but I don’t know who I am
(yet, help on ID appreciated):

Some treefrog (Hyla sp.) – possibly Hyla femoralis (pinewoods treefrog) or Hyla squirella (squirrel treefrog) or something else entirely.

With many treefrogs, colours vary considerably, so further features are needed to make sure, sometimes you need to hear the call to differentiate similar species.

Here is alink that is a first step in identification and has a good photo overview of a number of Florida’s frogs and toads.

Treefrogs (family Hylidae) have enlarged toe pads which can secrete mucus to enable climbing on most dry surfaces.

Enjoy!

Technical: ISO 1600, standard PP (resize, NI, USM), shadow/highlight tool to get rid of some reflections, used the colour burn tool with the brush to darken some parts especially on the left of the image, where the reflecting light bleached out the colours.

Strong eye contact. Very nice close-up. Kissing frogs not really my thing, this is close enough.

Hi, Gabi.
This is very good portrait. I like the frog's look. Excellent sharpness, details and DOF.

Ouf!
I am always intimidated in front of close-up portrait of an animal. It is as if a part of my evolutionary past went up on the surface. Something in her is always present in me. And I look at her without fear. She looks at me without fear. I admire her. But I do not feel obliged to embrace her.
Thank you Gabi. Have a good day!
