Deep in the rainforest, a tree frog sat perched on top of a cluster of tiny pink and red flowers, golden eye catching the light, feet spread to keep its balance. The background was a soft wash of green.
Tree frogs use flowers and fruit clusters as hunting perches. Insects come to the blooms, and a frog that sits still enough can simply wait for dinner to arrive. Their sticky toe pads let them grip even the most uneven surfaces, and their camouflage, mottled browns and greens, helps them disappear in plain sight.
The soft, even light and creamy green background give this image a gentle, almost studio feel. The frog's warm brown skin, the bright flowers and that golden eye form a tight cluster of colour in the centre of the frame.
It is a fresh, natural print with a calm palette. It suits a child's room, bathroom, study or living room, and is a charming gift for frog lovers and anyone drawn to the rainforest.
