I'm not sure what it's perched on but it brings out the colouring perfectly! It has a delightfully lugubrious look about it too! All in all a cracking shot Stanley!

How unusual! I wonder if he's unique in the frog world being that colour?

A real cutie he is too. Many thanks for finding him to show to us Stanley.
