UPY Portrait - Highly Commended
'Reflection, Common frog (Rana temporaria)'
Mirko Zanni
In the spring in the small river of the Maggia Valley in the south part of Switzerland, frogs begin to descend from the hills to spawn. They follow small streams as they make their way to the pond to lay their eggs. I was observing them as they followed their journey and in this pool I found this female with especially bright colors, probably due to the mating period.
Judge's comment: We look to encourage different definitions of portrait in this category, and this delicately beautiful image is a gorgeous portrait of a pretty frog in its habitat.
