San Carlos, CA

Still learning to use the 105mm f2 DC lens here.
This frog happily occupies a friends Coy pond - rescued from the "delicacies" section of a grocery store.

Can't resist that "Gimme a kiss. . . ." look in those eyes.

Looks like he's happy where he's at. Sharp focus right where you want it.

A good find. Looks like it'd take a couple this size to get a pound of legs!

Great color and DOF - love the clarity of the eyes. You and the 105 make a great team!

Excellent! Nice sharp focus on the eyes. Just right. How much of the softer focus behind it's head would you attribute to the DC lens versus the f/2.8 aperture alone? It sure looks good whatever the case.

A very fine shot. Great DOF.
