One cool dude, thank you for sharing
The first photo is awesome. Great capture!
Congratulations on the SOTD!! Amazing picture....Yes!! Pura Vida Frog!! : )
Thank you everyone - Manuel takes a lot of his photos as records for the biological station where he works. As a number of the amphibians are very similar in appearance (and there have been a few discussions in the area about hybrids), he takes close-ups of different features including the feet and bellies. In order to reduce contact, he usually places them on a leaf, either in his hand or if sturdy enough, directly on a plant. Having just discovered the continuous photo feature on his camera, he was able to get a few shots as the frog turned from back to belly. This was the only clear one, but very Costa Rica - Pura Vida
How spontaneous! Great job!
Congratulations Manuel on your SOTD
Most dramatic frog pose I've seen! Now I'm not talking about web images, graphics or animation. He's like "hey, watcha looking at?"

Congratulations Manuel, your great series has earned you Spotting of the Day!
A treefrog strikes a pose in our Spotting of the Day! Tree frogs, as their name suggests are typically arboreal as adults, and have discs on their finger and toe tips that enable them to climb.
