Another captivating set! I really like the Leaf Insect.
Another great set Kurt. I have never seen Ahaetulla prasina before, very unusual eye configuration. From what I understand they are very common in SE Asia.
I have noticed before that your light diffuser is exceptionally effective. Could you describe it? I see a hint of it in the eye of the frog.
Wonderful shots. The Leaf Insect has brilliant camo.
Brilliant photography Kurt!!
WOW! I don't like snakes but your excellent photography makes them look beautiful. Very well done.
Kurt you got a great set there and I like all of them!!!!!!!! I have to say my favorite is the 1st viper, it is so detailed all through, I have to ask if it's a stack. It's just amazing, as are all of them really. I shoot with a guy and your on his bucket list. He wants to get there with you and shoot. I can't argue with him either. I always look forward to your posts. Thanks
Wow! Another amazing set of images. I especially like the snakes and the gecko.
Can't say how much I look forward to your extraordinary posts!
