Artist: Joel Satore
Sky Blue Poison Frog

I chose this picture because it shows how colorful nature can be, and how those colors can be a warning to predators, and other threats. Sometimes the most beautiful and colorful animals are the most dangerous. Never judge a book, or a frog, by it's cover.
The colors in this photo work really well together, the black makes sure the eye is drawn to the color, which draws the eye all around the page to the bright yellow. This combination of colors is my personal favorite (bright yellow and bright blue).
Not only does the photo have interesting color, but Joel Satore uses a very interesting angle to capture the bright blue underside of the frog. The frog is also a very interesting composition when looking at the biodiversity set as a whole. It accompanies rare colorful birds, endangered animals, a few other species of frogs, crazy insects, and some very interesting mammals.
