Very enjoyable. I particularly appreciate the environment shown with the frogs.

Thanks Chris, I generally stay away from wide angle macro because it's rare that the background naturally complements the subject and the temptation can be there to move or otherwise manipulate the subject or the scene. Fortunately, with these frogs I got lucky and happened to have my 16-35mm in my bag for shooting landscapes and I was able to take advantage.

Nice set of images. Especially, I liked the pollinating flower scene.

Colombia got such vibrant and exotic looking animals, at least compared to what I'm used to here in Denmark. I wanna go there someday :D
