This isn't two tadpoles but a reflection from beneath.

 

I spent the afternoon experimenting with a  a technique for photographing fish and aquatic animals in a tank with my multiple flas units which gives a clean white background. I have to say that I am amazed at the resuluts and am going to do more and more. The Common Frog – Rana temporaria  tadpoles have just started to develop legs and are breathing air.  They are quite large as Tadpoles go. There will be more photographs as they get nearer to "full frogs". As far as the flowers are concerned, this is a Clematis bud and I have to say that it is a good way to spend an afternoon when it's raining. I am trying to take my photography up to the next level and this is a good step in that direction.

This shows the front legs starting to develop.

I just love the starkness of the isolated flower with nothing to distract from the subject.

I am very excited about the results here, if you like them too can you let me know by leaving a comment.
