Esta foto representa o momento de descanso de uma perereca de olhos vermelhos, chamada Aplastodiscus cavicola, sobre uma flor vermelha. Sua coloração verde, seus olhos vermelhos e a coloração vermelha da flor, me chamam a atenção nessa composição, refletindo um momento sereno e tranquilo, onde parece não haver perigo no mundo real. Esta foto foi tirada na Reserva Biológica da Michellin, em Igrapiúna, Bahia.
