Photo of the Month July 2010

[John]

Due to real life obligations we missed having a June photo of the month. Therefore the June competition has been rolled over for a July photo of the month. Please continue entering - judging will take place on July 1st.

Enter your photos here (please only 1 per member per month!) to get your photo and your name on the cover of the website as the photo of the month for June 2010! Please only enter a photo you own! Please also tell us what type of frog or toad is in the photo. Artwork is not considered a photograph, even if it is prepared from a photo - please no collages or modifications from the original photo beyond overall color/contrast correction, sharpness, basic touch-ups (e.g. dust removal), etc.

Good luck!

This would be better for May but hey, these are still out and about in June up here.



This is my first Photo of the Month picture ever. And I took it in the dark outside using only the flash of my camera for light.

Edit: Forgot to list the name. (Thanks Paul for the reminder)

(Northern?) Pseudacris crucifer.

[Paul Rust]

Very nice. I love P. crucifer (Spring Peeper) I wish we had them here so bad. You know, I have a birthday coming up....hint hint.

[Paul Rust]

This is Tinc. D. tinctorius, Surinam Cobalt.

[Kurt]

Are you sure that's not an Oyapock tinc? Every cobalt I have seen had yellow markings and not white. I actually like the Oyapock over the cobalts. I almost bought an azureus today, but I talked myself out of it.

Crystal, yes, its the northern spring peeper, Pseudacris crucifer crucifer.

I agree, Oyapocks are beautiful. Tinc is yellow on his head, camera washes it out and it isn't a very bold yellow yet. He is 1 year old, I hope it darkens some.

XD Sorry. I released it back into the wild. (Hopefully it has found another spring peeper and they are having tadpoles in the puddles of rain water as we speak.)

Oophaga pumilio 'Bastimentos'

Well, that explains why he looked like an Oyapock.

[Paul Rust]

Wow Kenny, very pretty Basti.

Wow Kenny, very pretty Basti.

Thanks, I only took the shot, not my animal but they are one of my favourite PDF's for sure

I have plans to build a big palu, I'm just debating between some species...

Very handsome little fella Laura.

Very handsome little fella Laura.

Thanks! I think so too, but I'm a little partial.

This is Timo. Short for Timoteo. He posed for me.

Very nice Andry, great shot

[Andry]

[Ebony]

Wow! He's doing very well for the first day. He obviously very inquisitive. Congratulations. he's beautiful and he looks like he going to quite cheeky.

[Kurt]

Nice shot. Then again I am biased to red-eyes as I have over 40 of them.
