•  Comment - Stretched out, about 6 inches for this adult Monkey frog. Fits in your hand and would be considered medium-sized. --GRDN711 (talk) 03:51, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Question From the EXIF, this appears to have been taken during the day using natural light with no flash. Has the uniform black background been added? Charles (talk) 14:46, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• If you download the image to say Photoshop and crank up the saturation to max, you will see that it is not a uniform black background. Instead it is dark blue with green specs all over it. It is very easy to take an image like this if the subject is in strong sunlight. Please compare with this image taken at the base of a hedge with the flowers in a beam of sunlight. I had to bring out the background from raw or it would have been totally black (since I know some people here have trouble with very black backgrounds). If I can do such shots, I'm sure other photographers, better than me, have no problem taking similar photos. --Cart (talk) 15:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• Not so. Your image is nothing like this one. I had already opened it in Photoshop and reduced shadow and it is a completely uniform background. As is the case with a number of this photographer's images. There may be a technique to achieve this, but you are nowhere close. There's no rule saying he can't play with backgrounds, but I'd just like to know in this instance. Charles (talk) 22:58, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• I didn't claim my photo was as good as this, just on the right track, a pointer to how this can be made. You are often taken what is written too literally. If you reduce the shadows, you will see a uniform background. However, playing with saturation will reveal what colors may be hidden in the darkness. Hopefully you will get a full explanation from the author. --Cart (talk) 23:14, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Neutral pending the resolution of Charles' question. If the black background is artificial, it was very well-done since it doesn't seem that way from pixel-peeping. But that doesn't mean it wasn't. Daniel Case (talk) 19:03, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
