Vitruvian Frog de Kai Kolodziej de Perchtoldsdorf (Lower Austria)
Lugar: Austria, Vienna
Descripción: I took this shot in spring, while the gras frogs (Rana dalmatina) were mating. I wanted to get a picture from below with the trees above the water. The water was pretty muddy and after looking at the camera display I thought that this picture looked a bit like da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, to get the frog more exposed I used a small flash.
