5. thanks, man....the problem with the photo is...

...when i dodged the eye to brighten it, it went more toward magenta than the red color they are....easy to fix but i probably just need to scrap the adjustment layer, where i dodged many areas on the image, and start over from there. now i'm creating adjustment layers specifically for eyes to make reworking easier.

the reason i try to limit shooting to a few minutes is that i don't want to stress the animals out. they're getting hit with bursts from the strobes, which actually doesn't do harm to their eyes, while continuous bright light does...but still, amphibians are somewhat fragile. i have plenty out there to choose from. i always put them back on the same leaf that i found them....i find that a lot of them tend to go back to the exact same spot every night. in one of the other threads i posted this morning, i have a shot of a red eyed and one of an hourglass frog. i've brought that same hourglass frog into the studio twice on different nights and put him back on the same leaf i found him, and months later, he still shows up on that same exact leaf every night....i know it's him because he is patternless on his back.
