“Kung Fu Frog” – Batam Island, Indonesia – Shikhei Goh – Featured Photographer

Need a good laugh today.  Here you go.  Look out Kung Fu Panda, this little tree frog is ready for battle!  Shikhei has only been photographing with a DSLR camera for a short time but already has an impressive body of work. You can find him at https://www.facebook.com/shikhei or check out his website at www.shikheigoh.com.  I recommend the Macro section of his portfolio.

 Enter Shikhei:

The reason I chose to have the frog as the object was partly because of its contrast in colors. It has green, purple, and red which I found to be amusing.  I used a thread for the frog to hold on so I could direct it to pose the way I wanted it.  However, I assure you there was no torture or hanging whatsoever.  I love animals and I will not torture them for the sake of macro photography.
