Strawberry leap

My favourite capture I took home from Costa Rica is without a doubt this strawberry poison frog (oophaga pumilio) caught in the middle of the jump. A great photo often involves a fair amount of luck. In this case I happened to press the shutter just in the right moment resulting in this unique pose. This frog species is perhaps most famous for its widespread variation in coloration, comprising approximately 15 – 30 different color morphs. It's alternate name "blue jeans poison frog" fits quite perfectly to this specimen considering it's specific colouration.
