The red-eyed leaf frog is a very popular amphibian species in Costa Rica. Most notable are its large red eyes with vertical pupils. Although its beauty lies in the combination of colors that make up its body. This set of photographs was taken in the La Fortuna region, in northern Costa Rica. Although this type of frog is a nocturnal animal, the photographs were taken during the day, at which time it takes the opportunity to rest camouflaged in the large leaves and in the thick jungle.

Biography

My passion for wildlife began in childhood and was later rekindled during a visit to Tikal in Guatemala. Inspired by nature, I returned to photography, progressing from a smartphone to professional mirrorless cameras. Today, I travel the world capturing wildlife, always seeking images that inspire emotion and conservation. While awards are rewarding, my greatest achievement is experiencing nature and sharing its beauty through photography. https://www.pablophotography.info/more-information/about
