    Gorgeous Jenny!!!!!!!

    This is a Surinam Blue Poison Dart Frog (??)- Latin name Dendrobates Azureus.
    First time I ever saw one was in an exhibit in the Boston Aquarium…and was blown away by the colour and beauty…and I thought to myself…this is what the creator of the known universe might look like!!.. :D

    This little guy happens to be one of my most favourite amphibians ever- next to the Red Eye Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidrynas) !! :D
    Would love to see both in the wild…

    Ahhh :cry: Miki took my funny.
    Seriously though, nice to see something different like this. Fair deuce to the guys in the shop for letting you snap it.
    Lovely and sharp and nice pose too. I’ll suggest one minor niggle though if you don’t mind Jenny – that orangey streak coming in from the top right corner is a bit distracting. Considering the background though, I’d say it would be easy to disguise. Still a cracking shot :D

    Thanks Alan & Mark, I can see what you mean about the stick, would be worth
    cloning out alright.

    Hi Jenny,

    cracking shot. Was this taken through glass or how did you get access to it. Also what sort of a ringflash are you using ?? I am looing at getting one myself but have no experience with them What would you recommend ?

    Cheers,

    Mark S.
