Thought you'd like to see this one. Color is off, but it's still in progress:

That's great! I missed the message at first, a co-worker pointed it out.

dendrobates? okay lookie here
very cool, zero, very very cool.

one of the best frog guys i know, he's kyle, right here

Zero and his frog...
Zero, your frog looks like a gummy frog. You know, one of those things you go to the movies as an excuse to eat.

ginger

trouble isn't enough.....
I love gummy bears
How do gummy frogs taste?
I forgot to ask, which part do you eat first.

Would be a shame just to eat the legs.

Kyle is nice looking, but I don't think I could get as excited about
eating him instead of gummy bears, at the movies.

I most certainly did swiftly check out the website
Yes, Andy, I did. Back when I posted before. Is Kyle the frog, I was a bit confused on that. Fine pictures, a fine frog indeed.

But I know my gummy bears and he is no Gummy Bear, or Gummy Frog.

too late for trouble, night.

Our frog is bigger...........
I just checked out "our" frog again. And I read your post a little closer. Kyle is the frog guy....... Kyle does well photographing fine frogs.

But this frog here is special. For one thing he is bigger, hehe. Also he has a gummy look, good enough to eat, and a "kiss me" on the side.

Great looks our frog.

Kyle's frogs are good, too.

Excellent! that's what I'm aiming for - sort of an "easter egg", not too obvious.

Pity that you can't really see the work at that size. Here's a 50% view that lets one see all the little reflections in the skin (all of them artificial):

Andy, we are big on frogs - our file must have a couple thousand. I'll see if I have time to assemble a small gallery for you. BTW, this is not a Dendrobates, it's a Tanzanian Hyperolius.

Here's a quick gallery of frogs and toads, as promised, from one of the image banks I manage. No photoshop trickery in these. Very easy to see they come from different photographers - vastly different quality levels.

Won't last long there, so be quick. Here's a teaser - don't miss the ant biting the frog's finger. Very brave ant, considering the frog's diet!

What beautiful patterns and colors they have. There are some lovely shots there. Some of my favorites:

That is great! You should offer it up to Rabia.
