Description
This is the frog that yesterday's posting (Vine Snake) was after to have for dinner. Luckily for the frog the snake missed its mark - at least that night :^)
A truly remarkable creature, the Gaudy Tree Frog better known as the Red Eye Tree Frog only comes out at night. This one was photographed after a short break of heavy rain in Tirimbina Reserve in Sarapiqui, Costa Rica. I used a Nikon SB-800 flash pointing up with the diffuser and reflector. This helped avoid heavy shadows from the frog and still light the background.
Hope you like the photo as much as I do and again thanks for all the great comments on previous images.

Yeah, good enough to be in National Geographic. Fantastic shot. The colors are so beautiful. Lucky the snake didn't get him/her. Aloha
Gaudy, who says those that name creatures do not have a sense of humor. Thats great!
Oh I love this one too ... your photo's are top notch quality.
What an amazing capture. Thank you so much for sharing this little fellow.
Excellent capture.
Incredible topic and photo! Also nicely composed (whether You or Gaudi has desgned the pic)
Very fortunate encounter for you and very fortunate frog to avoid being eaten. I would think that with these colors, this fellow might be toxic enough to dissuade predators from even trying to eat them. What amazing colors on such a little critter. I cannot wrap my mind around how creatures can evolve such amazing colors and patterns but I definitely can stand in awe at the process, lol. Very nice image with great detail and crisp clarity. Thanks for sharing. Lee
