A lone frog poking his head through some duckweed.

Nikon D3000, AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED, Apple Aperture.

This was taken in the blazing sun at the Singapore Zoo-- on a pond covered with giant lilly pads. I was chasing after the dragonflies and didn’t notice the frog until I got home and looked at the image in Photoshop. I’m sure the result would have been better with a proper macro lens, but I left mine at home (the 300mm and tripod is heavy enough).
